We read this sweet little color mixing book called “Mouse Paint” by Ellen Stoll Walsh. It was a great lead in to a color mixing stART project!
What’s stART? Simply put: A Story + Art = A Great stART!

For the art portion of this project we made a painted mouse color wheel.

First we read the story, its super cute, and easy to read as well.
Next we got our colors ready and since I have 3 kids doing this, each one mixed a color combo:
Next we painted, starting with the primary colored mice, then the secondary colored mice in between.
And voila, we have a mouse color wheel!

very cute project!
Great project! It also works really well with your Color Mixing activity
We did that a few weeks ago. It's one of my favorite books so we'll try the painting next time. She has a "Mouse Count" book as well, but it's not as cute, IMO.
I just ordered your Letter Of The Week Curriculum ..I'm super excited =)
What fun!
what a cute project!! I love how this turned out
Neat idea! Looks like lots of fun!Blessings,Jill
Here's another cute art project to go with that book: http://eco9.com/rareharestudio/?p=160 (you have to scroll down a bit, but it's cute!)Here is another nice book about color mixing. http://www.amazon.com/Color-Dance-Ann-Jonas/dp/0688059902 It would be fun to use tissue paper and overlap the primary colors to make secondary.
What a cute project! I love that book too! I can't wait to use it with my youngest.
What a great project, we love this book too. I can't wait to try this with Emily. Thank you for linking up to stART this week!!!
Oh, Erica…you are ever so clever! Adorable, as always!
