Mouse Paint

Our Kinder kiddos tried themselves in primary and secondary colors and learned the basics of mixing colors.

We read the book "Mouse Paint" by Ellen Stoll Walsh and turned the story into a literature-art session.

The kids learned that mixing blue, yellow and red creates orange, green and purple ... and also
A LOT of fun :)

The little guys understood the concept of mixing very quickly but the attempt to create three flowers with the newly mixed colors was a bit harder.

BUT the heart of the lesson was not about drawing the "perfect" flower but rather to get hands-on experience with paint, mixing, cleaning your brush before dipping it into the next color and to make magic happen on your white piece of paper.

And that they did indeed!
Bravo to all of our Kinder kiddos!












These most beautiful flowers the world has ever seen!!!

A colorful Art Attack on the Kinder-kiddos was yet again VERY successful :)
