Hey there! Do you know what happens when we mix colors together? They make new colors! Isn’t that exciting? Today, we’re going to learn about how we can make lots of colors using just three special colors. These special colors are called primary colors.
The primary colors are red, yellow, and blue. With these three colors, we can create many other colors. Let’s see how it works!
Let’s start by mixing some colors:
When we mix red and yellow together, we get the color orange. Isn’t that fun?
Next, if we mix red and blue, we make the color purple. Wow, that’s a pretty color!
Now, let’s mix yellow and blue. Together, they make the color green. Green is the color of grass and leaves!
What happens if we mix red, yellow, and blue all together? We get the color brown. Brown is the color of tree trunks and chocolate!
With red, yellow, and blue, there’s so much you can do! Try mixing colors at home with paints or crayons and see what new colors you can create. Have fun exploring the world of colors!
Color Mixing Experiment: Gather some paints or colored water in the primary colors: red, yellow, and blue. Use a palette or a tray to mix these colors together. Ask the children to predict what new color will appear when two colors are mixed. Let them try mixing different combinations and observe the results. Encourage them to describe the new colors they create and think of objects that are the same color.
Color Scavenger Hunt: Take the children on a color scavenger hunt around the classroom or outside. Ask them to find objects that match the primary colors and the secondary colors they learned about (orange, green, purple, and brown). Have them collect or point out items and discuss how these colors are made from the primary colors. This will help them connect the concept of color mixing to the real world.
Colorful Storytime: Read a storybook that features a lot of colors or create a simple story together. As you go through the story, pause to discuss the colors mentioned or seen in the illustrations. Ask questions like, “What colors do you think were mixed to make this color?” or “Can you find something in the room that is the same color as this character’s shirt?” This activity will help reinforce their understanding of color mixing through storytelling.
