Jack had a bean that became a pathway into another magical place. Anyway this didn't work too well with a number of classes then with one class I read the story but also showed the children images of vines. Then we brought out the paint.
I gave them a limited palette blue, yellow, black and white and asked them to see how many greens they could make. The mixing was popular. Then they painted vines. Here are the results
