With just five crayons-blue, yellow, red, white, and black-Riju learns how colours work. As colours ""meet"" and mix themselves, children see blue + yellow = green, yellow + red = orange, red + blue = purple, then explore lighter and darker shades before ending with a friendly colour wheel and an invitation to create their own art. Colours turns basic colour mixing into a simple, joyful, hands-on art adventure.
This book is ideal for teaching colour mixing and building creative confidence with very simple materials.
