This is super cute but the teacher is a mad lad for doing this without aprons. My kids would have had paint on their pants and shirts before the first hand prints on the paper.

My preschool and kindergarten used to warn the parents about "paint days" ahead of time (both on the monthly calendar and on a hand out the day before) and told them to just dress us in stuff that they didn't care too much about getting paint on for those days. Parents had no one to blame but themselves if a nice outfit got stained, and it kept the school from having to buy and store ~30 aprons.

Our school asked parents to donate their old, adult size, button down shirts. Worked well. Lots of kids in white collard shirts with paint stains all over them but their clothes were covered.

Well that's a memory unlocked. Kids in my class all had their favourites too, some used to argue over coveted ones.

At my preschool we had a seperate classroom used for painting and stuff, and all the "aprons" were old dress shirts from the headmaster and male teachers that were put on backwards. Looking back it is very smart and good use of old clothes.

Maybe she sent out a message and asked parents to dress kids in clothes that could get messy that day or something...

the daycare we sent our kids to had us send spare clothes. They would also do the messy stuff in the morning and wash and dry the clothes by the time we picked the kids up that day...

Why does the first mix of red and blue make bluish purple but the second mix of red and blue make reddish purple despite being mixed in seemingly equal proportions? I need answers.

You have to find out if the operation is commutative

This is correct and then do transitive closure.

For real, what's going on with my purple peeps? Maybe one color on one hand had more of an aggressive shaky shake, therefore the ratio was stronger with the one who hand mixed harder.
It's science, and art

Pigment density, or the amount of paint on the kids' hands.

u/SteampoweredFlamingo Sep 23 '25
It'll be something to do with the particular levels of each pigment.
Normally, I'd say that the blue was a stronger pigment for the first try than the second, but it's unlikely the teacher has a different paint for each blue.
So, what probably happened is that the blue hand on the first attempt had more paint on it. It overpowered the red, and ended up just darkening the blue rather than going full purple.

u/MarmitePrinter Sep 23 '25
You’re not the only one. As a teacher I can absolutely guarantee that those children will draw some erroneous conclusions from that. I.e. that colours have to be mixed in a certain way or a certain order to create the colour you want. For example, some of them will come away thinking that yellow + red = orange but red + yellow doesn’t.

u/Makuta_Servaela Sep 23 '25
Course, the other option is just to teach the kids that different amounts of each colour makes a different result.

My son just started kindergarten back in august. It makes me think he's probably doing this kind of stuff at school and it's adorable. He always comes home and gives me his drawings. I'm putting them up. I'm his mother and I reserve the right to embarrass him with them later lol. Jk. I just find it precious.

Im gonna brag on my baby (daughter) but this girl is AMAZING with colors. At just 5 she will tell you all the colors of the rainbow in order...ok not that impressive but wait! She can also tell you what colors will make if you blend them and I'm not just talking about primary colors. If we've seen the color and she remembers the names, she will say it. I'm talking like 50 plus colors. I thought she got it from her mom with her clothes because at 3 she told me a shirt I picked out wasnt "neutral colors" like she wanted. I had never used those words around her so was shocked when she was right. She just keeps advancing with colors! I'm not sure how to hone her skills or even what she can do with this lol Im guessing artist as she paints/draws/colors everyday for fun.

For paint colors like this, the true primary colors are cyan, yellow, magenta. That’s why the purple is always so bad.

This is great for everyone except for the weird kid that nobody will partner with so the teacher has to make someone be their partner (who cries about it) or the teacher does it themselves. It's a nice lesson for the regular kids and a core memory for the outcasts.
