Edible Color Wheel

My visual art major students (a mixture of 4th and 5th graders) completed the color unit with a edible color wheel.

Each student got a bag of 12 Vanilla Wafers. Each table got a cup of blue, yellow and red vanilla icing.

The goal was to make the primary, secondary and tertiary colors.

Using their colors they mixed all the colors on their plate.

Icing was every where hands, spoons, tables and napkins. Students begged to lick the spoon but I reminded them each table is dipping their spoon in the cups of icing.

They all seemed to really enjoy this project and we didn't get to all the colors due to the time limit but it was a great way to end our knowledge of color.
