Color Wheel part 2

We did color wheels last year but we used art materials to add to the wheel.  This year, I thought we'd do it differently.
The children mixed the colors on the color wheel so that one color would blend into another.  We were careful to keep the colors in the area they came from so we would have varying colors


The children added photographs from an old calendar I had.  It had some beautiful, bright photographs of places and people from all over the world.  

We practiced cutting as we went and enjoyed finding a place for all the beautiful photos.

Color Wheel


As part of the color wheel lesson, the children mixed tempera paints of primary colors to make secondary colors.  In addition, they were asked to find items in the art studio of each color to add to the color wheel. 
The infants also did some color mixing.  I added primary colors in between two pieces of contact paper and taped them to the light table
