Pumpkin Paint Mixing Worksheet

Pumpkin Coloring Mixing

Print the Orange Pumpkin poster.  First, ask the child to identify the color of a pumpkin.  Then, add a dot of yellow and red fingerpaint to the poster.  Before painting the pumpkin, instruct the child to mix the colors to see a surprise appear.  For further learning, have the child cut out the pumpkin once dry.
