Each time they dip their brush in the paint they use it either to paint on their paper or mix a color, after they are done with that color they need to wash it in their cup of water and then dry it on the sponge before dipping it into another color. The paint in small amounts, a brush sponge and cup of water. So for this activity I used tray painting method and gave them each an empty color wheel to work with.The tray painting method in brief has what you see below. I give them very small amounts of paint in covers of baby food jars or in coasters so that if the paint gets ruined, it is no big loss and they easily start again. I’ve called it tray painting because they use a cookie tray (or a piece of aluminum foil) to mix colors on that they need for their pictures. The way I have always had the children paint was by using the set up below. For the large circle I used a cover from a large plastic container and for the small ones I used tops of baby food jars. It is important to use some sort of template to make the circles so that they look neat and clean. I then make 6 circles on each piece of tag board for each child that is going to be making one. I take a piece of white tag board and make one very large circle on it. The way I do this with young children is to make a very basic, simple color wheel by only mixing primary colors to make secondary colors. Making a color wheel with children teaches them many skills and concepts.It teaches them about primary colors, it teacher them about color mixing and it teaches them about the secondary colors, tertiary colors and complementary colors (or contrasting colors). They need to spend their time painting, experimenting and getting to be real familiar with the painting experience itself. Children younger than kindergarten, like pre k and preschoolers do not need to get involved in making color wheels. Please be aware that this is only a good activity to do if the children you are working with have already had a lot of experience with painting.

If you are a kindergarten teacher or a homeschooling parent and you want to expand your children’s art knowledge, the best way to start is by making a color wheel with them.
