What should he do?Īsk the children to mix two colors at a time and see which color they get. He has only 3 colors, which are red, blue and yellow, but he needs orange, purple and green to try and make sense of all those other feelings he feels. Red, blue and yellow paint (poster paint or watercolor)Įxplain to the children that the color monster is a bit confused.So if they could color all the emotions and the colors on the jars the same color as in the story, he would be a very happy monster!Įxperimenting with and mixing paint is such a fun and concrete way for the little thinkers to learn about primary and secondary colors. He needs help from them to remember all these colors. Then explain to them that this confused color monster has decided to make his feelings certain colors to make it easier for him to understand.
Ask them what color they see when they feel happy etc. Talk about feelings and what the kids associate with these. And everything they see has color! Everything they feel is still a bit difficult to express though, and these two activities will help them to realize that they are not the only ones that are a little confused. Children at this age are still in the process of putting words to the different things they see around them. Color Recognition is an important concept to master in the younger learning years.
