Make a Color Wheel

Description

One of my girls had an assignment to recreate the color wheel. I thought her interpretation of the color wheel was so creative. I just loved all the different items they used to make it. I thought it could be done with younger children as well to help children learn about the color wheel or even to reinforce colors identification using objects. You could simplify this activity making the color wheel with just the Primary colors for younger children.
