Autumn is a gorgeous and colourful season that never fails to get the creative juices flowing. This Autumn Handprint Tree is a great way to experiment with simple colour mixing techniques within a seasonal theme.

We start with a handprint and asking questions such as “how do we make the colour brown from these colours?” Throughout the process, encourage your child to mix their own colours and describe what happens when colours mix.
