Watering Whole @Home Curriculum Week 4

Colour mixing. Now that we have learnt about our 3 primary colours….let’s do some experimenting together! Set up a space for your child to explore the 3 primary colours only. Have blue, red and yellow paints.A blank sheet of paperAnd different painting tools such as brushes, sponges, sticks, feathers etc You can start by pointing to and talking about the different colours together. Then allow the children to explore on their own and find out all of the new colours they can make. Talk to them about what you see and ask questions too…”What colour are you using now? What happened when those colours mixed? I see you are making a yellow circle…etc”   Note… you may find it starts off as a beautiful picture of vibrant colours mixing together….once over mixed it will look more like a big muddy puddle 🙂 That is okay. This activity is about allowing the child to explore colours and colour mixing in their own unique and playful ways! The product is not as important as the process in this activity.
