Like I'm 5. Simple words, fun analogies, keep it short and magical. Start with a 1-sentence overview, then build.
Painters use colors to make new ones, just like mixing juice! If you mix red and blue, you get purple, kind of like when you mix grape juice and blueberry juice. Red plus yellow makes orange, like when you mix tomato soup and lemonade. And if you mix all three main colors (red, blue, and yellow), you get a new color called brown or black. Painters use this trick to make lots of different colors for their pictures!
Examples
- Mixing red and blue paint makes purple, just like mixing grape juice and blueberry juice.
- Putting yellow and blue together creates green, like a grassy field in springtime.
