We read the book Mouse Paint, by Ellen Stoll Walsh. The kids love the book! After we read the book, each student received a paint bag. In each bag were two different colors of paint (not yet mixed). The kids got to work squishing the different colors of paint together in their bags to see what new color they would make. They loved it! Afterwards, they recorded what they discovered and we reviewed the results as a class. We discovered that yellow and blue make green, red and blue make purple, and red and yellow make orange. They still go back to the Mouse Paint book each day and talk about how they discovered paint colors like the mice did.
