Mix it Up: Herve Tullet

Product Information

I don't want to compare Mix it Up to Press Here, but because it's the same type of book, by the same author, there are some parallels I will comment on. I think I’ll make the Southern Belle hot cocoa, topped with vanilla ice cream, and use a candy cane stirrer.” She said to herself. Just as she finished cooking, the door opened and a red-cheeked Sally came in and took off her gloves, coat, hat, scarf, and boots. “What’s that wonderful smell?” Sally said with a smile. “I hope it’s what I think it is.” All three sat and sipped the hot cocoa while Sally told them about her adventures outside.Sally giggled and said, “And I thought I was bored.” This color mixing activity was an absolute hit. Both Theo and Lucy have already mentioned more than once they want to do it again! This is an interestingway to mix the three primary colours. First we filled a shallow bowl with milk then dropped three drops of liquid red food colouring slightly away fromthe centre of the bowl. Then we added three drops of blue and three drops of yellow so that the colours formed a triangle. We squirted a small amount of washing up liquid in the centre of the triangleand watched what happened. (You can read aboutwhy the colours mix when you add the washing up liquid here). It was fascinating watching the colours move butit took a while for them to really mix together. Children will love this little book about ‘boring’ rainy, snowy days when there is nothing to do. When there are no new books and nothing to watch on the TV. That’s when one should mix it up…

She giggled as the dog started running but couldn’t go anywhere. Its legs were moving, but on the ice, its feet just kept on sliding over the same spot. “Josh, you have to see this,” she called out. But there was no reply. The snow was coming down faster and faster. Soon it was really deep. She saw people with shovels trying to clean the sidewalk or an area next to the street so they could park their car. Anyone looking to demonstrate the power of a physical book or looking for books to open the imagination Advertisement Your Story Book! A book specially made, with you as the main hero or heroine! Personalised children’s gifts by www.monkeypen.com I got a free copy of this from Chronicle Books in my #ChronicleCrush box and didn't give it enough attention at first. I had seen it in Shelf Awareness and now here it was mixed in with a cookbook and a history book, so I had been under the assumption all along that this was some experimental creativity-boosting project for adults. I wish I had actually read it sooner instead of just flipping through! Lucy began to paint pictures. She’d mix colors on her paper plate until she got just the right one to add to her artwork!Herve Tullet must be a very vibrant, creative, and fun person to be around. I think he is like the picasso for kids and I mean that in the best ways!! This is our third Herve book we've added to our collection (Press Here and The Scribble Book.) We really enjoy the interactive style he uses in his books, to encourage kids to participate in the story as it goes along.

Students that enjoy painting or art in general will enjoy learning their colors with this book. As well as, students that are more kinesthetic learners. Tom: Blue and yellow. Blue and yellow. I think it makes orange. Yep, orange. Does it actually make orange? The millions of child and adult fans of Hervé Tullet and Press Here in both its hard cover and board book incarnations Just like the book, Press Here, kids are active participants in the story- using their imaginations along with their hands to splatter and mix colors all throughout the book. Children learn the basics of color mixing as they read this hands-on book! Start by setting up your workspace. You want to have plenty of room for kids to explore paint mixing. We covered our kitchen table with our art mat and some large sheets of white paper. We placed all our materials right on the table so we were ready to go!One of our favourite art activities is great forshowing what happens when you mix the primary colours. We covered a small canvas with strips of red, yellow and blue crepe paper (making sure that there were some overlaps). Then we squirted the paper with water and waited. The second picture shows how the paperlooked after half an hour, the third picture shows the paper after leaving it overnight. We removed the paper to see how the colourshad mixed (my daughter thinks that it looks like sunset over the sea). Sally was obviously bored. She moped around the apartment for a while, tried to find something to do, but there just wasn’t anything that interested her. She walked slowly to the window, pressed her nose against the cold glass, and watched the big snowflakes fall from the sky. She looked down and saw that they were already starting to cover the street and sidewalk. “Oh what a terrible day. I am so bored,” she said with a sigh.

I am bored! I don’t have any new books to read. I am bored! My Mom is listening to the news on the radio and they are talking about the low temperatures and the surprise winter storm that is moving in.As the kids mixed colors, they’d save favorites they created on their free printable paint palette by painting in the circles. Fans of Eric Carle's Brown Bear, Brown Bear , Leo Lionni's magical Little Blue and Little Yellow , other books about color Mom, can I go out and play?” Sally yelled out to her mother. “Dress warm,” her mother replied. “Be sure to stay close and come in before dark.” In under a minute, Sally was outside playing with her friends and having a lot of fun. Oh! She wasn’t bored anymore either. Tom: I know what it is but I'm not telling *then whispers "orange" to Molly when he thinks I'm not looking*

Tom: So which ones make orange? *we look through the book again for orange* So it was red and yellow?
