The children are responsible for searching through the box to find the perfect red-orange or blue-green. I fill two boxes with cool color scraps (greens, blues, painted paper scraps, etc.) and one warm color box. I tell my students they are going on a treasure hunt for colors to place in between their petals. Glue the three petals onto a piece of white paper with the yellow petal pointing to the top. Repeat steps for creating petals for the secondary colors. Place the primary colored rectangles on the student’s desks and show how to cut into a petal. Having worked with colors the whole year, most kids are very familiar with the formulas for making secondary colors. Using a poster or other visual aid, discuss the color wheel and how/why colors are arranged. Then, if you have time, ask the children to make stems and leaves. Using a small round container, trace a circle from the gray paper and place in the center.
