Mouse Paint

K students discussed primary and secondary colors.  We listened to songs about color, explored color mixing on the smartboard and even created a color wheel with oil crayons!  Our main inspiration for this project was the book Mouse Paint.  Three little mice find jars of primary color and after dipping themselves in the paint discover that they can make new colors!  Students had the opportunity to paint with primary colors like the mice in the story, and used their primaries to create secondary colors as well!  Finally we discussed collage and texture.  Students ripped the paper to mimic the fuzzy texture of a mouse and collages their shapes together on top of their paintings.  Great work Kindergarten!!
