Age 4 YearsClass 26 of 28Activities 18 studiosSubjects Colors · mixing · making
This class turns colors from names into materials: paints that really mix, outlines that really fill, decorations that really move. The Colors & Creativity studio next door holds eighteen real activities — from a chameleon that changes color to a splatter canvas.
Creative choices are never graded here. The only goal is the joy of making — and a little true color science along the way.

TODAY’S CLASS
How today’s class works.
Five little steps: a color review, the great mixing quiz, three real studios to try, the off-screen paint ideas, and the warm goodbye. Any order suits.

LEARN · COLOR REVIEW
Eight colors, big and bold.
Name each color together, then hunt for it in the room — “point at something red!” Color names stick fastest when they hop off the screen onto real things.

PLAY · THE MIXING QUIZ
What do the paints make?
Three true mixtures, the same ones the Rainbow Paint Laboratory teaches. Guess together first, then go and prove it in the studio.
Every card below is a real activity: tap-to-fill coloring with outlines that stay, movable decorations, true paint mixing, a rainbow built in order and a splatter canvas. Finished artwork saves to the child’s own My Classroom desk.
1. Color discovery
Six gentle ways to meet colors — change a chameleon, mix real paint, paint wings, oceans and pottery.
Two jars of water and food coloring: red + yellow, then yellow + blue, then blue + red.
Let your child predict before every pour — guessing is the fun part.
Water painting
A bucket of water and a big brush: paint the fence, the wall, the patio.
Big arm movements — exactly the muscles this class has been training.
Color of the day
Pick one color each morning and count how many times it appears before lunch.
Mess is part of the curriculum. Smocks on, and enjoy it.
A NOTE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
For the grown-ups.
Nothing in this class is graded on purpose. Free creative choices build something quizzes cannot: the confidence to decide, try, undo and decide again. The mixing activities are honest — red and yellow really do make orange on screen, just as they do at the kitchen table — so the science and the play reinforce each other. Save the artwork your child is proud of; pride is the best marker of progress at four.
