In this lesson, you will learn how to mix colors to create new ones! You will discover that mixing blue and yellow makes green, red and yellow makes orange, and red and white makes pink. You will also find out that combining red, blue, and white can create even more colors, and that mixing all three primary colors together gives you black. By the end of our magical color mixing adventure, you will be a color mixing expert, ready to explore and create even more beautiful colors on your own!
Welcome to the magical world of colors! Today, we’re going to have fun mixing colors and discovering what new colors we can make. Let’s start our adventure!
Our friend, Meow Meow, is playing hide and seek. To help him hide, we need to paint him with different colors. Let’s see what happens when we mix them!
First, let’s mix blue and yellow. What do you think will happen? That’s right! We get green. Good job! Now, let’s try mixing red and yellow. Wow, it makes orange!
How about mixing red and white? It makes a lovely pink. And when we mix yellow and white, we get a soft light yellow. You’re doing great!
Let’s keep going! If we mix red, blue, and white, we can make all sorts of colors. But if we mix yellow, red, and blue together, we get black. Isn’t that magical?
Now, let’s mix yellow and blue again. Remember what we get? Yes, it’s green! And mixing red and blue gives us a beautiful purple. You’re a color mixing expert!
Finally, let’s mix yellow and red again. We get orange, just like before. You’re doing such a good job that you deserve a lollipop!
Mixing colors is like magic! You can create so many beautiful colors by combining just a few. Keep exploring and see what other colors you can make. Have fun with your magical color mixing adventure!
Color Mixing Experiment: Gather some watercolors or food coloring in primary colors (red, blue, yellow) and a palette or small cups. Let the children mix different combinations of these colors to see what new colors they can create. Encourage them to predict the outcome before mixing and then compare the results. Ask them, “What new color did you make? How did you make it?”
Color Hunt: Go on a color hunt around the classroom or at home. Ask the children to find objects that match the colors they created during the mixing experiment. For example, if they made green, they might find a green leaf or a green crayon. Discuss with them, “Where else do you see these colors in your everyday life?”
Color Story Time: Have the children draw a picture using the colors they mixed. Then, ask them to create a short story about their picture. For instance, if they drew a purple dragon, they could tell a story about the dragon’s adventures. Encourage them to share their stories with the class, asking questions like, “What is your favorite color in your picture and why?”
