This experience would start with multiple cups of water for each student. They will also be provided the primary colors in food color dye. The children will begin with putting the colors, red, blue, and yellow, in three of the cups filled with water. Then, to create secondary colors the children are going to use the primary food dye to create orange, violet, and green. This nurtures creativity by teaching children different colors and how to expand their knowledge on colors. Children are given the opportunity to explore different avenues through the freedom of creating colors they might have not known how to create.

Each child will be given two plates of their own and the table will get the three primary colors in tempera paint. Next, they will divide one plate into 6 triangles and they will fill in 3 of those alternating with red, blue, and yellow. To fill in the other three empty spots, the children will combine the two colors bordering the spots to create the secondary color of the two primary. Once they complete this with each secondary color they are then going to cut out the triangles with scissors, slightly smaller than the second plate. Next they are going to glue the colored plates onto the second plate in order, and lastly they are going to label the different sections with the correct color name. This activity nurtures creativity by allowing children to be hands on with the use of painting and mixing paints, as well as cutting, gluing, and combining materials.

Clay is an extremely versatile material that children are able to express their imagination through. For this specific experience, children will find an animal or object that is specific to one color. After sculpting and creating the animal or object of their choice, the objects are going to be left out to dry over night. The next day, the children are going to be given the opportunity to paint their creations the specific color they chose. This experience encourages creativity within children because it gives them the freedom to choose their own animal or object, their own colors, and are given the opportunity to express their imagination.

In this activity, children are given different Easter eggs that are the color of each secondary color. Inside of the eggs there will be beads of the two primary colors that creates that specific secondary color. However, the children are not allowed to open the eggs until they are able to correctly identify the colors inside the egg. Another version of this could be used with M&Ms or Skittles so when the children are correct they are given candy as a reward. An example of this activity is, having a green Easter egg with blue and yellow beads or M&Ms inside. Once the colors are correctly identified the children can open the eggs. This activity allows children to nurture their creativity through a hands on discussions and exploring colors in a new way outside of paint or markers.

Colors are used often to describe different emotions and feelings. Through this activity children are able to identify their emotions and properly express them through artwork. Each day would start with children being provided a worksheet with a blank face and different colored markers. Through this activity children are able to start their day communicating to their teacher how they are feeling. This allows teachers to correctly address feelings with their students all at the same time of teaching their students how to express their emotions creatively. Colors are used as descriptive words for feelings in writing and having children understand this helps them express themselves nonverbally if they are not able to verbally.
