MIXING COLORS
Miss Bridget read the class a story called Mouse Paint by Ellen Stoll Walsh. The white mice dip themselves in different color paints and make new colors. After the story, we took turns using two different colors to make a new color. The children were able to watch the paint mix and create secondary colors through this experience.
