One of my all time favorites! I look forward to reading the big book version during a color themed storytime.
I read this book a while back really. Just wanted to add it to my Colors-Theme bookshelf
Daughter loved this book so much - it was one read over and over. She totally learned her colors and how they mix with each other from this!
Mouse Paint is a great way to introduce mixing colors to kindergartners or 1st-graders. The book has simple illustrations with white space instead of detailed backgrounds, since the story is about three white mice on a white piece of paper. One day, the mice jump into three jars of paint one day, and discover when they step into a different color puddle of paint, they can change the color of the puddle. The illustrations are simplistic but realistic, and often the mice are more of a silhouette than a three-dimensional shape, which emphasizes the color of the paint on their fur. The language is simple and clear and would be a great read-aloud.
A fun way to learn about mixing colors to make something new.
Kids LOVED talking about mixing colors! It's a great example/way of sharing primary colors and also about camouflage.
Simple children's book about color. The art was somewhat cute. The text unoffensive. But there was no story. So fine. But nothing all that special.

This is a cute and fun way to teach kids about primary colors and how mixing them creates new colors. It could create the memory in their minds of the mice playing around to help them remember.
