Our friend Zara the zebra takes centre stage in this Art colour theory activity sheet eyfs core. Zara loves spotting patterns and vibrant shades in nature, and she invites your pupils to join her on a creative journey. Through hands-on tasks, children will learn how to identify primary colours and discover the exciting results of mixing them together. This activity is perfect for continuous provision, small group art sessions, or a focused afternoon creative task.

Teachers can use this Art colour theory activity sheet eyfs core to support the Expressive Arts and Design area of the Australian Curriculum (ACARA). It provides a structured yet playful way to introduce the concept of colour mixing, allowing students to experiment with paint or crayons while developing their visual literacy. The resource is tailored to the expected standard for Foundation, ensuring that the tasks are challenging yet achievable for your learners.

To help you get the most out of this lesson, we have included five questions to check understanding:

1. Can you name the three primary colours shown on the sheet?

2. What happens when you mix blue and yellow together?

3. Can you find something in the classroom that is the colour red?

4. If you have £1 and a paintbrush costs 50p, how much change would you have?

5. How does mixing colours make you feel?
