Kinder Artists bring you Mouse Paint!

Kinder artists read the book Mouse Paint by Ellen Stoll Walsh. They learned about primary and secondary colors. After looking at a color wheel, they created their own color wheel by mixing the primary colors to get secondary colors. They then traced their hand 3 times (In the story, there are 3 mice.)and divided their hands into 3 sections. They showed which primary colors mix to make secondary colors in each mouse. One mouse has red and yellow to make orange, one mouse has yellow and blue to make green, and one mouse has red and blue to make purple. They cut them out and glued them onto a black background. They then used peach paper to cut out the nose, ears and tail for each mouse and glued them on, resulting in a fun mixed media collage.
