Activities

Talking Points
- Introduction to Colors: "Colors are divided into primary colors and secondary colors."
- Primary Colors: "The primary colors are red, yellow, and blue. These colors cannot be made by mixing other colors."
- Secondary Colors: "When you mix two primary colors, you get a secondary color. For example, red + yellow = orange."
- Color Wheel: "The color wheel helps us see how colors are related and how they can be mixed to create new colors."
- Hands-On Learning: "Let's use the colored snakes and color wheel spinner to explore and have fun while learning about colors!"
