All colors blended together equal कृष्ण
Materials
Clay - Red, Blue, Yellow and White (Crayola Modeling Magic works nicely)
Clay roller or chapati roller
Directions
1. Take a ball of white clay and roll it out like a chapati. Try to make it as round as possible.
2. Give each child equal portions of red, blue and yellow clay.
3. Have them divide each color into four equal portions. You should end up with four small balls of blue, red and yellow.
At this point, it's really helpful to place the colors - as you make them - around the outside of the white "chapati". Otherwise, you'll get confused as to which color belongs where. Don't press them into the wheel until you're completely done mixing all of the color discs -- this will be the very last thing you do.
4. Following the diagram below, place one of the red balls on the outside of the wheel. Do the same with one blue and yellow ball. (These are the primary colors.)
5. Take a red, blue and yellow ball and divide each of them into halves. (You should have two equal portions of each color.)
6. Take a red, blue and yellow balls and divide each of the colors into four equal little balls. (You should have 4 equal portions of each color.)
* You will have a ball of red, blue and yellow left over. Set these aside for the center of the wheel.
7. With the balls from Step 5, thoroughly blend numbers 2, 5, and 8 on the diagram below. Place them on the outside of the wheel. (These are the secondary colors.)
8. With the little balls from Step 6, blend numbers, blend numbers 1, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 9 on the diagram below. Place them on the outside of the wheel. (These are the tertiary colors.)
9. Blend the remaining portions of red, blue and yellow. This goes in the center of the wheel. This is कृष्ण - all colors (or black.)
10. Now that you have all your colors mixed, place the color discs (one by one) onto the surface and press into the wheel.
