Primary Colors


I'm very excited about this week and hope that I get around to finishing all the projects.


Books: Mouse Paint by Ellen Stoll Walsh
Songs: Primary Colors - OK Go I saw this on Sesame Street and thought it was so great.
Activity: Mixing Colors. All you need is plastic cups and food coloring. We have done this before but I found a color wheel online that you can print out and they can color in as they learn. (courtesy of Art Factory)
Art: Mondrian inspired. I have been very excited to do this art project with the kids for a while. I created a little sheet that you can print out to get started. You can choose to either have the kids color the page using the primary colors or cut out squares and rectangles out of construction paper and allow them to glue wherever they would like. Try not to fill every square and to leave some white spaces.
Food: I figured we could do something easy and make jello.







 Our kids really loved this song. The first time we watched it, we ended watching it 5 times in a row. And it was a great companion to the book Mouse Paint.

We decided to cut out shapes from construction paper and glue them down.

She did really great with this project and finished quickly.

Mr. perfectionist had a harder time because he wanted the shapes to fit exactly in the spaces.

Our three primary colors.

Waiting for the Jell-O to set. This was the most painful part.
