Exercises Box 3

Exercise 1
The child repeats the work as shown in the presentation using other graded colors until he has done all of the 9 shades.

Exercise 2
The child takes out one set of colors to grade and you choose another set of contrasting color. Have the child grade them both. Mix up the tablets and repeat. Continue until the child has graded every two combinations possible.

Exercise 3
Place two mats next to each other. Place the disk in the center. Take the darkest of each color and place it horizontally around the disk. Grade each color outwards to create a "Star Burst".
