Description: This lesson was all about learning to use primary and secondary colors. Students use primary colors to draw and label as many objects as they can of that color. Then they use a secondary color for their egg carton animals. When we did the project, the teachers had us use the rest of our time to write down as many objects that they can of another primary color. This background is then used as the background for the little egg carton animal. The whole lesson is related to the "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?" book.
Extension: To extend this project, I would teach the students about the colors in between primary and secondary colors, which are called tertiary colors. I would have them practice mixing paints to create these colors, and they could try using their knowledge of mixing colors to match different paint swatches. They could use black and white to create different shades of the same hue like their paint swatches. Their final project could be a recreation of the paint swatches on a piece of construction paper.
