• Make a play-dough colour wheel!!

2. Step 1
• Take a quarter size amount of each primary
colour of play-dough (blue, red, yellow)
• Split each ball of play dough into two balls one
of them 1/3 and the other 2/3

3. Step 2
• On a blank piece of paper place each of the
small dots of dough on the paper to create a
large triangle. Label them!
Blue
Primary colours

4. Step 3
• Split the remaining balls of primary dough in
half
• Mix the balls of dough together so that you
will create each of the three secondary
colours
• Split each of the secondary balls into two with
one large than the other (1/3 to 2/3 ratio)

5. Step 4

7. Final Colour Wheel
Draw a line through your
colour wheel indicating
warm from cool.
•Which colour is the
lightest?
•Which colour is the
brightest?
•Which colour is the

8. Keep it simple rules
• Three primaries mixed in unequal amounts
make brown.
• When complementary colours are mixed they
create some shade of brown.
• All virgin hair is a shade of brown.
• Equal amounts of all the primaries make
black, grey, or , depending on the level.
