Is your child interested in art? Would they like to learn more about color theory? Read the books A Book about Color by Mark Gonyea, and Color Patterns by Carolyn Scrace, available both at the Main Library and the Allwood Branch, and then do this fun indoor activity about color theory!
Color Pattern Activity
You will need:
-Paint and a paintbrush or markers (red, yellow, orange, blue, green, purple, black)
-1 Egg carton
-Scissors
Instructions:
Step 1: Cut off the top half of the egg carton, leaving just the bottom.
Step 2: Select one color for each cup and paint/color the
inside of each egg cup until they are all filled with different colors, or
different shades of the same color.
Step 3: Let the egg tray dry.
Step 4: Have your child search for and collect small items
of various colors in your house. Then, match each item with an egg cup of the
same color and place the items inside. Have a race to see how quickly your
child can place the correct item with its coordinating cup!
Have fun!
