Kindergarten Lions

Kindergartners are exploring color mixing. For this project, we drew a lion together using lines and shapes. As we drew, we talked about the different types of senses that lions have (sight, smell, taste, touch - whiskers!, and hearing.) They added white for the eyes and teeth and a red mouth. Next came the paint. We painted the lions yellow and looked  at a photograph of a lion to see all of the different kinds of colors in a lion's mane. One of the colors we saw was orange. Our goal was to add a little red to the mane to create some orange. This was a challenging task because red is such a strong color! Some of the lions look like they just had a little snack:)
