When I first saw this beautiful art kit by Djeco, I didn't understand why it was labelled for children aged 4 to 6 years old. After opening it up, I quickly realized that it is aged appropriately, as this kit is all about learning how to mix colours.
The set comes complete with 2 each of four different designs, 4 tubes of paint, 8 colour mixing sheets and 2 paint brushes. In each project, kids learn to mix one colour - purple, orange, pink and green, and then they proceed to paint their new mixed colour onto the scene.
In terms of a structured activity, this one is pretty cool. It is simple, yet educational, and could possibly entertain up to 8 kids, if you've got a few extra brushes.
This kit is designed by illustrator, Clementine Collinet, who lives in France. You can find some of her work at http://ccollinet.canalblog.com/
The colour mixing sheets give very clear instructions (without words) on how to mix 2 colours together to get a new colour.
And then kids paint their scene with the new colour they have made.
