About this resource

Cold Colours: winter colour mixing mat. A colour mixing mat with three winter colour sums: blue and white, purple and white, and blue and purple. Children mix the colours with paint or playdough and see what they make. Adding more white makes icy, frosty shades for winter pictures. What’s included: • Teacher guide with Development Matters links. • Colour mixing mat with 3 colour sums. Ideas for using it: • Mix it: Mix the two colours and paint the answer circle. • More white: Add more white. What happens? • Icy painting: Paint a winter picture with your colours. • Playdough mix: Twist two colours of playdough together. Linked to Development Matters (three and four-year-olds): • Explore colour and colour mixing. • Use a wider range of vocabulary. • Talk about the differences between materials and changes they notice. • Develop their own ideas and then decide which materials to use to express them. Supplied as a ready-to-print PDF (A4 landscape). Print, laminate and reuse all year.Read more

What you get, one file

  • PDFActivity

This pack is print and go. Our catalogue does not list an editable copy of it, so none is offered here rather than promising a file nobody has opened. Page counts are not printed either, because we do not publish them and a guessed number is worse than none.
