Mixing Colors

We painted a color wheel today. The students began with three colors: red, blue and yellow. Then chose two to mix together. This is a fun way for kids to experiment with colors and they get so excited when they can create their own! They might need to see the pictures to jog their memories, but most of them were able make purple, green and orange!

Red + Yellow = Orange
Yellow + Blue = Green
Blue + Red = Purple

The students used plates as their mixing palette

Painting can be messy but it's worth it!
