I liked that it taught her more about colors and that it encouraged interaction between the two of us while we read it.

They washed themselves off to become white again and decided to paint on paper instead to create the newfound colors. We've read this one a couple of times and our youngest was very proud that she could read it all by herself.

December 2015 update: Read this again while our youngest and our two-year-old niece were otherwise engaged playing with wooden puzzles in the board book section of our local library. The story ends with the three mice cleaning themselves off in the cat’s water dish and painting the paper instead. As an art teacher, I have read this book to hundreds of kindergartners over the years before teaching primary and secondary color theory. LE: After the story you can take the children to the art center where you will have paper and finger paint ready for them. Ellen is the daughter of Joseph Adolphus (a businessman) and Nell (Orum) Stoll; married David Albert Walsh (a professor), August 25, 1964; children: Benjamin Martin.

you can have several circles on the paper that have the name of the color written under it and then with the children you can start to fill in the circles with the paint and mix colors to make new shades.

One day, the cat takes a nap and the three little mice discover three jars of paint and climb right in. Finally, they wash themselves clean (in the cat's water bowl) and paint the paper with all the available colors -- except for a section of white where they can hide from the cat.

Mouse Paint was perfect for this kid, who told me that it is his destiny to be an artist: the pictures are simple, beautiful, and dynamic. I thought this could be confusing because a kindergartner could have a hard time distinguishing who jumped in the puddle and what color they made. Perfect for fans of Lois Ehlert and Press Here, this charming board book gently explores the world of color and celebrates the joy of creativity. They first dive into the paint to color themselves, then splash in paint puddles and discover that primary colors, when combined, make new colors. Mouse Paint is a story about three white mice who decide to climb into some paint jars and have some fun while the cat is napping.Yes and definitely, I totally, I absolutely adore (and also do appreciate) how Ellen Stoll Walsh in her 1989 board book Mouse Paint (nicely small in circumference and as such perfect little hands, for toddlers to hold by themselves, on their own) with very simple mouse themed contents (with words) and delightfully expressive accompanying artwork introduces both the primary colours of red, yellow, blue and also demonstrates how mixing these then creates entirely different hues (that yellow combined with red makes orange, that yellow mixed with blue makes green, and that blue and red create the colour purple), with Mouse Paint presenting itself as engaging, with a lovely sense of both textual and visual fun, as educational without any kind of annoying didacticism and heavy messaging. However, albeit that Mouse Paint is to and for me a three star book (as that cat textually not really doing anything except being kind of a placeholder so to speak is certainly more than a bit of an annoyance), well, obtaining and reading the 2010 dual language English/Spanish edition of Mouse Paint, yes, this does make me raise those three stars to a very solidly and appreciated four stars for Mouse Paint / Pintura de raton. This environmentally friendly matt emulsion paint has a unique formulation, perfect for hard-working homes and public places.
