-3 small containers with red; yellow and blue paint
-3 plastic spoons
-1 paintbrush
-Blotting paper
-small container of water
-small paper plate for mixing paints

Students begin by writing their name on
worksheets
When directed to do so, students place a small
amount of the two colours according to number
1 on their worksheets, onto an area of a paper
plate. Using their paintbrush, students mix the
two colours, and paint the shape in number 1,
the colour they have made.

Repeat with number 2 & 3 on worksheets

Students proceed to clean-up paint and desks, then
colour in the remainder of their colour wheel using
crayons or pencils following the guide:

- Number 2 = orange
- Number 4 = purple
- Number 6 = green

Using coloured dots that are the same as the two paint
colours students used, students stick them on the colour
they made e.g. show example to students
Stick a red and yellow dot, on the orange triangle.
Stick a yellow and blue dot, on the green triangle
Stick a blue and red dot, on the purple triangle
EXTENSION ACTIVITY students can stick the
remaining colour names on the correct colours

of paint onto paper
plates-do not mix
spoons/colours

mix the two colours on
the plate
Clean and blot
paintbrush before

the paper plate
Demonstrate the

paintbrushes using
