Symmetry Rainbow Paintings

Materials
Tempera paint in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple 
White construction paper (9×12 or 12×18)

Directions
Fold the construction paper in half (either direction). With your assistance, invite your child to place drops of paint in all the colors onto the construction paper.  It’s best if you have small squeeze bottles for the paint, but you can even use spoons to drop small globs of paint.  Once all the paint colors have been placed on the paper, invite your child to fold the paper in half and rub over the paper.  Open the  paper again and see the new colorful, symmetrical paint design that has been created.
