In this engaging lesson plan for toddlers, students will discover the world of colors and shapes by exploring color mixing. The session begins with an introduction to primary colors—red, yellow, and blue—using visual aids to help students identify and name the colors. A demonstration on mixing these colors to create secondary colors will follow, highlighting examples such as purple, green, and orange.
During the main activity, each child will receive a white paper with pre-cut shapes and primary color paints. They will experiment with mixing colors on trays to create new shades, applying them to their shapes while learning to communicate their findings. The lesson emphasizes creativity and self-expression, allowing children to share their colorful creations with peers, fostering a sense of community and collaboration.
Finally, students will clean up their work areas, reinforcing the importance of tidiness, while reflecting on their learning experience. The lesson provides opportunities for assessment through observation and encourages deeper exploration of colors through extension activities, such as creating a color mixing chart or reading related storybooks. Overall, this session aims to inspire curiosity and joy in the understanding of colors and shapes.
