Create fun by encouraging students to create personal color wheels! We like this activity because it can be simple or complex, with a good balance between structure that guides students and open-ended fun that fosters creativity.
Age: 4+

Here are few ideas on how to use them:
Idea 1: Get familiar with colors by keeping it simple.
What you’ll need:
- R58639 Color Wheel Stencils
- Copy Paper
- Your Favorite color medium: Crayons, Colored Pencils or Markers
LET”S GET STARTED
Take a wheel Stencil of your Choice. Put it onto a paper. Start filing up the inner edges with your choice of Color. To get an attractive look, try different colors. You can use Crayons, Markers or Pencil Colors. Once you are done, take off the stencil and see how beautifully the patterns get transfer to the sheet!
Idea 2: Take your color wheels up a notch by adding texture.
What you’ll need:
- R58639 Color Wheel Stencils
- Rubbing Plates or rubbing Mats, I used R48250 Pop Art Rubbing Mats
- Copy Paper
- Your favorite color medium: crayons or colored pencils
Take a Wheel Stencil and place it onto a white paper. Place one of our R48250 Rubbing Plate underneath the white paper. The twist starts from here. Fill the first wheel pattern with color of your choice. Once you are done, take that rubbing plate out and switch it with another rubbing plate. Fill up all the patterns by using as many rubbing plates you want and you’ll see the difference.
Idea 3: Take your color diffusing projects in a more structured direction by incorporating the color wheel.
You’ll need:
- R58639 Color Wheel Stencils
- R15212 9X12” Color Diffusing Paper
- R54466 Junior Paint Spritzers
- Liquid Water Color Paint OR washable markers
- White Crayon or Chalk
Take a R15212 Color diffusing Paper and place a wheel stencil over it. Outline the wheel patterns with a chalk or with a white crayon. Now, place the diffusing paper on a no mess tray. Take Our R54466 Junior Paint Spritzers, fill the bottle with liquid water color paint and spritz out a fine mist of color. Use different colors to create different effects.
