Today we mixed our primary colors!
For breakfast I planned on colorful yogurts. Teagan happily ate his. Gavin wanted oatmeal. Even after I explained what I planned, he wanted oatmeal so that is what he ate.
The books we read today were Mouse Paint by Ellen Stoll Walsh and Little Blue and Little Yellow by Leo Lionni. The boys enjoyed both books. We discussed mixing the colors blue, yellow and red to make new colors.
I then pulled out 3 ziploc baggies and the blue, yellow and red paints. I put blue and yellow in
one, blue and red in another and red and yellow in the final one. I let the boys mix them together to see what colors they could come up with. They thought this was awesome. I gave them a train each to let them drive over the ziploc baggies and see the lines they made in the paint.We then made our color pages. Today we did three: Green, Orange and Purple.
Gavin hasn't finished his yet. I'll get a photo of his later.
Tomorrow I plan on punching holes in each of the pages and letting the boys lace yarn/string through them to make a color book. I hope it turns out nice!
