Colours

With just five crayons-blue, yellow, red, white, and black-Riju learns how colours work. As colours "meet" and mix themselves, children see blue + yellow = green, yellow + red = orange, red + blue = purple, then explore lighter and darker shades before ending with a friendly colour wheel and an invitation to create their own art. Colours turns basic colour mixing into a simple, joyful, hands-on art adventure.

This book is ideal for teaching colour mixing and building creative confidence with very simple materials.

Physical (Fine Motor) & Health

- Encourages grasp, control, and hand coordination through drawing, colouring, and mixing-important pre-writing skills.

Cognitive Development

- Builds cause-and-effect (primary colours make secondary colours; white/black create tints/shades).

- Strengthens sequencing: choose colours → mix → watch the change → use the new colour

Socio-Emotional Development

- Boosts creative confidence-children see they can make many colours with just a few tools, reducing fear of making mistakes.

Early Literacy Development

- Clear instructions and repeated mix formulas support listening comprehension and vocabulary (primary/secondary colours, tint, shade).
