Finger Painting - Color Mixing

Sweet Girl wanted to do some finger painting today so I decided to throw in a little learning lesson.

I set out a plate of blue paint (teal because that's all we had) and a plate of yellow paint.

She played around with the colors for a while.

Then she made some hand prints.

And she painted herself.

And made more hand prints.

While she was playing and having fun we talked about how you can mix two colors together to create new colors.  Painting yourself is always fun!
