Summer Fun for Preschoolers: Chalk Color Wheel
Today I am happy to welcome Cassie from 3 Dinosaurs with an outdoor art project that doubles as a science experiment!
This is the third week in the Summer Fun For Preschoolers series! Each Friday for the rest of the summer I will share a guest post with wonderful ideas of ways to intentionally spend time with your young children! Click here for a list of all the weeks, and check out the contributors in the left hand sidebar!
What you need: white, blue, yellow & red chalk.
Place the chalk where the starting colors should be. They rub the chalk all over the circles.
When they finished it looked like this. The chalk circles are very powdery.
They each picked a new circle and put hand prints from their starting color in the new circle.
After they filled up their new circle with hand prints they went to the circle on the left of their starting circle and put their hand prints there.
After they had mixed it really good we saw the new colors we had created.
When we were all done the color wheel was turned into a flower.

Chalk is one of our favorite summer activities. The girls will ask to do it a lot. I always try to do some learning when we do chalk. It does not always happen but when I can make it happen it goes great! It is also one of the easy activities you can do almost anywhere! Here is one of our fun Chalk activities.
What you need: white, blue, yellow & red chalk.
Draw 6 circles on the ground. (My first try at this I had one to many circles. The girls kept counting different numbers as I was drawing them.)
Place the chalk where the starting colors should be. They rub the chalk all over the circles.
When they finished it looked like this. The chalk circles are very powdery.
They each picked a new circle and put hand prints from their starting color in the new circle.
After they filled up their new circle with hand prints they went to the circle on the left of their starting circle and put their hand prints there.
After they had mixed it really good we saw the new colors we had created.
When we were all done the color wheel was turned into a flower.
