Color Mixing



The kindergarteners noticed some red, blue, and yellow paints on the art shelf and asked if they could use them. They took out paint palates and q-tips. They began by slowly pouring paint into the palates. Adam explained that red, blue, and yellow are primary colors. They then experimented by mixing the colors together. As the children experimented, we read the story, "White Rabbits Color Book." In this story, a white rabbit climbs in and out of red, blue, and yellow paint tubs. The children predicted what color the rabbit would make by climbing in the blue tub and then the yellow tub. They then tried it out on their papers. What a colorful science experiment!
