Do you think this simple color wheel would take a whole 40 min class period to make? Neither did I! Today I divided up my third graders into groups of 4 or 5 kids and they made these color wheels out of icing and food coloring. It was a good learning experience since most of them didn't know how to mix colors, but boy was it CRAZY. Anything that involves food makes kids go wild! They only had time to do the primary and secondary colors. If there had been more time they would have added the tertiary colors too. At the end of class they were dying to eat them!! Who would of thought that some vanilla wafers with a little bit of icing would make kids go crazy? You would have thought they won a million dollars! :o)
