Color Mixing Activity
A couple of weeks back my 5 year olds had Science Fair at their preschool. They presented “Roots Box” and “Dinosaurs” projects. It was exciting to see all the other kids prepare on many interesting topics and present. One of the topics my kids saw there and kept asking me that they wanted to do at home was Color Mixing. We did it today using food colors.
The kids helped me get some clear shot glasses, water, food colors etc.
They decided which colors to mix. I gave them some directions and it was very simple for them to follow.
They put one drop of food color in each glass in which I had poured a small amount of water.
Then they mixed the two colors together to arrive at the resulting color.
For some they expected what the resulting color might be and for others they were surprised!
We played this activity for a long time, while the kids tried out several different combinations of colors and even mixing the mixed colors. Kids had a lot of fun and didn’t want to stop.
Finally all the colored water were mixed together!
