Observe color changes with many different transparent and colorful materials including chiffon scarves, tissue paper, colored cellophane, or colored glue. Large sheets of cellophane can be attached to the classroom windows so that when the sun shines into the room, it reflects the color changes. Invite the children to take sheets of the cellophane or chiffon scarves outside and look though. They might place two colors on top of one another and discover a new color. Music Center Colorful scarves or streamers can be set out in the Music Center along with a tape player that the child can use by themselves.
Children can use the scarves or streamers to move to any type of music.
Prepare the sticky boards by attaching the contact paper, sticky side up, on the poster board. The pieces of tissue paper will attach themselves to the sticky board and overlapping colors will result in discovering new colors. Be sure to be available to facilitate the process so that each child's attempts are successful. Paint mixing Using plastic zipper bags, place 1 tsp. Paint mixing can also take place at the easel or at the art table using shallow pans, small squirt containers of different colors of tempera paint.
