Paper Towel Color Wheel

I saw this wonderful sensorial art lesson

at my favorite Montessori teacher, Anne's site,

Itty Bitty Love.

I couldn't wait to try it with my own girls.

As it turned out, the post halloween morning

was the perfect time to try it

with both of my girls and their sweet daddy.

First we mixed up

three cups of colored water

RED, BLUE, YELLOW

Then I marked a template

for each of them to follow

on the waxy side of a piece of waxed deli paper.

Then I armed them each with a pipette

from our science box...

you could also use an eye dropper.

Each girl followed her "recipe"

One dot of food coloring water

per dot on the chart.

(mom and dad had to ask Mini-Saurus

questions like, "Where are the yellow dots?

Now put your yellow on those dots....")

Then use your pipette or eye dropper

to MIX the COLORS!

(important: we forgot to do this the first time and it didn't work)

Put your paper towel down

to reveal the surprise!!!

Ta-da!!
