Finger painting and making colors

Today was beautiful outside so I decided to let the kids fingerpaint outside on a big piece of paper. What we focused on in our lesson was combing 2 colors to make a new color. An example is: Bleu et Jaune fait vert. (Blue and yellow make green).

If it's still cold where you live, you can do this indoors with finger paints, water colors or acrylic paints. Kids love painting so much you'll have them speaking in no time. Here's some color words you can use:

Blue – bleu

Yellow – jaune

Orange – orange

Green – vert

Red – rouge

Pink – rose

Light blue – bleu clair

Brown – marron

Grey – gris

White – blanc

Black - noir
