Secondary Colors - Toddler Activity #2

We went outside for this game.  I had bought these color paddles a while ago when I worked for the State and have kept them because there are so many uses for them!

If you want some of your own...Lakeshore has some or you could just wait until next week for our Lakeshore GIVEAWAY!!!  Its totally up to you!
So this is what they look like...

I used sidewalk chalk to color different stations.  Orange, Purple and Green.

Then the kids had to find which combinations made the right color.

Orange....CHECK!

 Purple...CHECK!

 Okay now Green...

CHECK!

I let them walk around outside and look through the plates to see the world with the different color perspectives.  It was a fun and simple activity and we can do it again and again!

Plexiglas Smooshing

After setting up a play date with D, I decided I would bring our art project to her house. So this day we did Plexiglas Smush Painting. Don't you like the technical terms?

You need Plexiglas
Drawing Paper
Paint
Paint Brushes
Willingness to paint

There are two ways to do this, thanks to E and my boy we figured out which way was better.

You can apply the paint with a brush, and then lift it off with the paper, or put the paint directly on the plexiglas and smush it with the paper. Peel it off and there you go.

I took the finished products home so I could cut and laminate them and make magnets out of them. See this is how I get to go back to D's, to bring her the magnets! :)

After the paint fun we let the kids go wild in the back. D and I sat on some chairs and watched all of the fun. On the way home my boy told me how happy he was to see E again, and how he likes her house better than ours. Haha.
