Color Mixing

In the hopes of drawing our attention towards the vibrant shades of green in the summer landscape, we chose to begin the year by offering yellow and blue paints at the easel.  After many days of free painting, we read Leo Lionni’s Little Blue, Little Yellow and we wondered…What happens when blue and yellow mix?  We decided to take a closer look in the mini studio and we’ve been mixing paints ever since.  The children have delighted in their discoveries!
