New Paint Colors

We have talked a lot about colors in the Pine room. We tried many different ways to mix colors, but finally came to the conclusion that we could mix them into cups. M finally had a chance to mix the colored water. He stared at each color before deciding on which ones to combine. 

"I think I am going to use yellow & blue?"
"It makes green!"




"I'm making different colors."- M
"I'm mixing yellow, green, and red. I don't know what it will make."- K


"I'm making a new color."- M

"Are you making a rainbow?"- M
"Yes, I am making a rainbow!"- K
"Mines a super cool rainbow!"- M



"This one is old. Look in it, it's old."



"I use blue!"- L

After making their own colors, the kids were able to test them out on a new white piece of cloth. They used eyedroppers to watch the color spread far and wide.

My dad has white skin!"  "My mom and I are white, and my dad and sister are really tan!" "My family all has brown skin like me. My mom is a little different brown though. My baby sisters look like me!" We got out the skin tone colored crayons and the kids carefully chose the colors they needed to represent their families.  "I need the tan ones because I am kind of tan and so is my mom. My dad and sister are darker than us so I need to use like a darker brown. I need the black too because they have dark hair. I have brown hair and my mom has like brownish hair but it's also kind of yellow." S worked on her family portrait as well. She, too, noted that she needed different colored cra...
