This activity will help develop children's colour recognition and understanding of mathematical terms such as how many, more than, most and least.
Resources
Different coloured paints, brushes, a permanent marker, large circles of white card
Step by step
* Divide the circle of card into eight equal sections. The number of children will determine how many circles of card you will need.
* Invite each child to take it turns to mix their favourite colour using the paints and to paint a section of the wheel in that colour.
* When dry, display the coloured wheel where it can be easily seen.
