Are you interested in painting and colors! If so this project is for you! In this lesson you will be painting with multiple colors.
What is our theme? Colors Colors Everywhere!!
What is the lesson (overall purpose)? To become familiar with all the colors around us. And to experiment with different media such as paint.

Mouse Paint - by Ellen Stoll Walsh - Story Read Aloud posted below
Materials:
smock or large shirt you don't mind getting paint on
Canvas/ heavy duty paper
acrylic paint
painters tape or brown tape
paint brush
water cup (to clean paint brush)
towel (to dry paint brush)
Activity (Procedure):
Starting with a blank canvas or piece of paper,
tape randomly all over the canvas so there are empty spots of white left to be painted.
The less tape you use the more you will have to paint.
Have your child paint the canvas or paper with all different colors.
If they would like to keep one color in each white area that is great because then you can talk about the colors.
When the paint is all dry you may peel the tape off to reveal your masterpiece.
Activity Wrap Up:
Find somewhere in your home to hang the new art work or mail it to a friend or family.
How do I know what my child is learning? (Assessment)
Have your child tell you about what colors he/she is using.
You can talk to them about how to hold a paint brush and use phrases like “gentle strokes” because sometimes children will push down very hard with the paint brush.
How can you extend this activity? (Modifications)
If you do not have a canvas you can use thick paper.
Also if you don't have painters tape you can use brown masking tape.
If you don't have acrylic paint try using any paint.
If you don't have any of these items your child can paint on different pieces of paper and when they dry you can cut them out to make a collage with all the colors.
Helpful Hints: (Pitfalls & Solutions)
If you are using paper because you don't have a canvas be careful the tape doesn't rip the paper.
