same idea, different medium




A few weeks ago, we read the book Mouse Paint and experimented with water colors to see what would happen when we combined red and yellow, yellow and blue and blue and red.

Today, we took finger paint and put different combinations into plastic bags. We mushed and kneeded the paint together until we began to hear exclamations of "I made orange! I made green! I made purple!!!". It was obvious that taking this active role in the transformation of TWO colors into a whole new ONE was both excited and enlightening!!
