Wren likes painting (and Frost does too)

This morning I brought out the paints and let Wren have a go. Last time I tried he was not keen on the mess. However, today he was very happy and I have some lovely pictures of him painting and (shock, horror) FINGER painting. Again, he used to be very opposed to the idea of finger painting because it got his hands dirty.





As Frost played with painting, I was a bit alarmed to discover that he did not know what colors were created by mixing. He had no idea that blue and yellow make green [was he only doing scrounge art?] or that red and yellow make orange, so we spent some time experimenting. This started because he told me that "blue and black never make other colors when mixed with anything". That was quickly disproved. He also seemed to expect any pair of colors to make brown and was pleasantly surprised at the range of colors beside brown which resulted from our three primaries and green.

More color theory shall be forthcoming!
