Birdhouse Painting


I got this bird house from Joann's for $1.
One of Cali's many interest is birds.
Anytime we are outside she is constantly looking for birds and chasing them.



Start by placing the colors of paint on a paper plate.
We choose bright spring colors to welcome Springtime.
Next have your child paint, each time they choose a color let them know what color they are using.


Of course the colors are going to get mixed together! Now you can show/tell them how we can make certain colors when you mix 2 of the colors together.
Blue + Yellow = Green
Red + Yellow = Orange
Blue + Red = Purple

When finished painting, place your birdhouse outside to dry.
