Magic Colours






Last week Lexi asked me how do you make her favourite colour - purple?
Supporting this question I set up a paint activity consisting of the primary colours of red, blue and yellow together with white. With a small group of children I explained how mixing certain colours together created different colours for example: red and blue make purple, yellow and red make orange etc. Charlie, Lexi, Taneesha, Hannah and Anika couldn't believe their eyes when they watched me mix colours together to create a different colour. They all excitedly had a go at mixing their own colours together to create new colours.
