Easel Paints?
 

How many colours of paint do you mix up for the Easel ?

Ours used to end up brown regardless :D but set out with 4 of the basic primary colours !

we tend to put out 2 on each side, as you say they all end up the same colour. but we vary the colours frequently
but this has reminded me our easel broke and i need a new one, cant believe we have not had one for 2 weeks and i totally forgot!!!!

4 to 6 colours sometimes more, plan the ones you put out so they mix to another colour other than brown, eg reds, yellows orange pink (No greens or blues)
blues greens yellows (no reds or orange)
pastel colours often out this time of year, (or when we top up pots using white!)
Black occasionally

Have done a week of just blue paint had about 10 different shades !

Our easel broke and children actually prefer the table so have decided to do without for a while and see how it goes.

maybe that is why am not missing it, they seem to be painting more on the tables!! (also hands, faces,clothes etc etc)
