We had so many ideas come to mind with color that I am unable to include them all in one post, so I will share the activities between 4 different posts:
Activity 1 : Mixing colors in water
Activity 2 : Watch the colors swirl
Activity 3 : Color wheel with paint
Activity 4 : Free painting

This post will feature Activity 1 : Mixing colors in water
Materials :
6 clear cups, food coloring in primary colors (red, blue, and yellow), water
Steps-
- Pour water in 3 cups (no more than halfway full)
- Add a drop or two of coloring in each cup of water
- Add water to remaining 3 empty cups and then mix 2 of the primary colors from cups together at a time (red + blue, red + yellow, yellow + blue)
- Feast your eyes on the beautiful results!
- And what you get is the rainbow of colors!
Here are the books we read on the colorful subject of COLOR~
