How to make a color wheel turtle craft
STEP ONE: Prepare your supplies
Before you get started, you'll want to round up your supplies. If you don't have the turtle color wheel template, you can download it by scrolling down below. You can print it on regular white paper or some thin cardstock. We have several options to choose from - some even have labels indicating where to paint each colour.
Once you have your supplies gathered, add the primary colors, red, blue, and yellow paint to the paper plate. Make sure to leave space in between each color to allow for mixing secondary colours.
STEP TWO: Paint your primary colors
Time to get started with your turtle color wheel! Choose a section of the color wheel to start and fill it with red paint, skip a section before painting your blue color and then repeat for yellow. You should have a result similar to the image below.
STEP THREE: Mix & paint your secondary colours
Now that you've finished painting your color wheel primary colors, it's time for the secondary colors!
Mix a little of the blue and red paint together to create purple and paint the section on your color wheel template between the blue and red paint.
Next, mix the blue and yellow paint to make green and paint the section between the blue and yellow.
Finally, mix the yellow and red paint to make orange and paint the section between the red and yellow.
You should be left with a result like the image below.
STEP FOUR: Add the final details (optional)
You have now completed your color wheel turtle craft! If you'd like, you can paint the rest of the turtle color wheel template with a color of choice.
If you chose the color wheel template with lines through the background, you may consider painting contrasting colours in the background.
