Materials
Transparent colored florist or craft wrap (red, yellow, blue) A sunny window
Tape 3 to 6 pieces of shirt cardboard
Instructions
1. Tape a 1' (30 cm) square section of colored transparent wrap to a sunny window.
2. Use the shirt cardboard to make color paddles by first folding the cardboard in half, then cutting out a "window." Then unfold. Tape transparent wrap over this cutout hole. Refold and tape the cardboard shut. Make at least one color paddle for each color.
3. When the sun hits your window it should cast a patch of colored sunlight through the transparent wrap into the classroom.
4. Encourage the children to hold the color paddles up to the window to mix and change the colors.Original poemA little red and then some blue,What do you think they're going to do?Mix some yellow and some blue,Color mixing is fun to do!
