Here’s what to expect:

We look at the book cover and discuss what the story could be about.
Is it a story? Is it a game?

We read the story together, the children joining in the rhyming lines.

Up to 3 art activities can follow:

Colour blending: Learn to paint a rainbow by turning primary colours into secondary colours – how we make orange from yellow and red; green from blue and yellow; purple from blue and red.

Thinking and painting: Children each choose a favourite colour and paint all the relevant things they can think of. For example – yellow: lemons, chicks, sun, lemonade, eggs.

Colour spinner: Using the provided cards, pens and elastic bands, we do a line drawing on one side of the card (e.g. a tomato); on the other side we paint the whole side with the relevant colour (in this case red). Using the elastic bands we spin the card and the tomato turns red!

Fun with characters: Illustrator Chris Duggan transforms the
children’s splashes and splats of colour into characters, just like in the book.
