Mixing colors

We are having fun learning about colors...
Yesterday we made friendship paintings (each child got 1 color of fingerpaint but they worked together to make a new color).
We had a lot of fun and got a bit messy :)
Today we had a more formal lesson, learning about primary colors, the color wheel, and what happens when we mix different colors. Ask your child about the different parts. This is the first time we tried this, so feel free to leave comments (did the playdoh stay on pretty well or should we have let it dry for a day before sending it home?). Thanks to my Aunt Marian for the wonderful idea of using playdoh for mixing colors. It was really fun, despite rolling about 200 little playdoh balls last night.
