Steps:

Learn about primary and secondary colors, by viewing the following slides.

Learn how to mix crayons by watching the video “Crayon Mixing”. (2:44)

Create a rainbow of colors on your paper by mixing your crayons.

Then, if you’d like, try making circle art by mixing your crayon colors.

These are the Primary Colors.
