Music Video Monday: Three Primary Colours

The Rundown
In this video OK Go (you know the treadmill guys) show us the three primary colours and what you get by mixing the colors with each other..

Why We Love It
Now that Aiden has his letters and most of his numbered mastered, he's working on his colours, and what better way to start with a video featuring OK Go. The video does a great job of showing little people exactly what happens when the primary colours are mixed and what colours you get. And true to OK Go form, it is a very unique and creative way to teach primary colours. I only wish this had been around when I was an art teacher!

Creative Extensions
1. Go on a colour scavenger hunt. Go for a walk and find as many things as you can that are in a certain colour. Take a picture of your finds and frame it for some cool artwork for your little person's room.
2. Have a colour based meal: Choose a colour and make a meal using things that are only in that colour.
3. Experiment with colour mixing by making tie-dyed paper towel or coffee filters: Wet the paper towel or coffee filter. Give your little person some washable markers. When the markers touch the paper towel or coffee filter the colours will run into one another, mixing to create new colours. Take this one step further by asking your little person to create names for the new colours you made.
