Today I introduced the word hue. Hue is a color without a shade or tent. Shade is a color mixed with black and tiny is a color mixed with white. Who knew ?
. The children each other on pallet and mixed white and black with their chosen colors to see what happened. Earlier we read the book mix it up. I think that got them excited about this process
We also explored different colors as we painted a tree branch. Shhh. Don’t tell this kids this was more a hand eye coordination and fine motor practice than color recognition.
Oh and we made cupcakes with colorful sprinkles !
All of this was done before licensing arrived at 10:00. At that point the children went outside with Mr. Randy and had lunch on the porch.
