I love Deep Space Sparkle's
so much that I adapted it into a color mixing project for my girls
Here's how we did it
First we painted red, blue, and yellow stripes,
make sure the stripes are wide enough to cut petals out of.
While you're painting you can discuss how red, blue, and yellow are
they cannot be made by mixing any other colors.
Set your stripes aside to dry and grab a clean sheet of paper
To make the centers of your flowers
mix the primary colors together
Yellow + Red = Orange
Red + Blue = Purple
Yellow + Blue = Green
Don't forget to mention that orange, purple, and green are
Leave enough room between the centers to add petals
Little A didn't quite follow the instructions
she kept saying
"I did it! I did it!"
after making green
so I let her do her own thing
Once your primary color stripes are dry,
cut them out
then cut petals out of them.
Glue your petals around the flower centers
For our project we glued the two primary colors that mix together to make the secondary colored center
After the petals are glued on add stems, leaves, etc.
Miss C added a cute little bumblebee to her garden
A garden of color mixed flowers
A quick visual for your child to see which primary colors mix to make a secondary color
Here are my flowers
