Length: 20 minutes

Lesson:
  • Have children put a 2-3 inch circle of red and a 2-3 inch circle of blue paint on the paper plate.
  • Have the children mix the paints and paint the top half of their rock (purple).
  • Next have the children mix blue and yellow for the grass and paint the lower half of the rock to meet the purple.
