Color Mixing & Rock Painting Fun

Good Morning!

I hope you are ready to have some fun and maybe get a little bit MESSY today!! Here is your warning now.....Make sure you have on painting clothes or an apron just in case!

Hopefully, you have had a chance to collect the materials you will need for today:
1. Red, yellow, and blue acrylic paint OR whatever paint you have at home would work fine. Acrylic paint will work best for the final activity.
2. Paper plate or thick white paper
3. various paint brushes
4. a couple smooth, large, paintable rocks

Reading:
I have 2 stories for you today.

This is a cute story about being yourself. I also want you to use it for some inspiration to paint beautiful rocks.

It is time to get messy! Watch this next video for activity instructions. Pause the
video at any time and do the activities with me.
