Today we experimented with colors. I asked my 2-year-old, "What happens when we mix two primary colors together?" I then pulled out some (non-toxic) paint that we had in our craft drawer, white paper (three sheets) and tape. My 2-year-old loves painting and experimenting, so I figured today's sunny weather would be a good day to go outside and get messy. The set up was simple - tape the white pages to a hard and straight surface, drop two primary colors on each sheet and use your fingers to mix.
We first started with red and yellow and, to my toddlers amazement, we got orange.
Next we went on to blue and yellow to get green.
And we finished with red and blue to get purple.
I was very pleased with the outcome! My son enjoyed painting and he also walked away with some new knowledge... then we collected rocks and painted them too :)
