Roy G Biv

Success!

All it took was a different recipe that required more flour and water, less salt, a little cream of tarter and a little oil.  I made it last night while the kids were in bed, but they were very excited to see it when they woke up:

Since we finally had our playdough, we got to try this activity that I found at The Crafty Crow.

We started out with the primary colors:

Then we mixed the yellow with the blue, the blue with the red, and the red with the orange.  We ended up with the secondary colors: green, purple, and red.  Well, our purple wasn't exactly purple, but it was close enough. 

Then we mixed those colors with the colors on either side of them.  We ended up with the tertiary colors (though I didn't use that word with the kids) and a beuatiful color wheel.

Finally, we made "Rainbow Kebabs" with our pieces of dough and were reminded about ROY G BIV:

Then we thought it would be fun to mix all the pieces of playdough together and see what color they made.

It was the perfect color for tadpoles, and the kebab sticks were perfect for spearing the little tadpoles and catching them.

To close out our colorful morning, we read this eye-pleasing book that Mam-maw sent us:

It is a picture book with each page dedicated to a color.  Within each page we saw many different things from God's world that are different shades of one particular color.

What a beautiful masterpiece God has created!
