The children had the opportunity to explore paint at the art table in the outside play yard on Tuesday and Wednesday the 10th and 11th September. Room 1 teachers offered the children primary colors (red, yellow, blue) to use. During the activity the teacher spoke to them about how they moved their brushes by using words such as round, across, up and down, fast and slow, and mix. Exploring paint is also a great way for young children to learn about cause and effect as they see how two colors mixed together make a new color. For example, yellow and blue makes green. This is a simple science experiment for toddlers.
