Mouse Paint


Mouse Paint was written and illustrated by Ellen Stoll Walsh. It was published by Harcourt Brace & Company in 1989. The illustrations in this book are cut-paper collage. "A basic summary of this early childhood story is how three white mice discover red, blue, and yellow paint, and explore the world of color."

I would first make flashcards with each color to test the child, then I'd do a demonstration of mixing colors to bring the story alive.

RI K.1. With prompting and support, ask and answer questions about key details in a text.

Activity:  Color & Art Appreciation - Color Mixing Activity  Ages 2.5+It is a wonderful experience for children to see and experience how colors mix and form other colors.

Purpose:  Demonstrate to children how the primary colors:  red, blue and yellow mix and form the secondary colors:  green, orange, and purple.
