Activity of the Week

We have spent some time working with colors this past week. Ryan is still practicing at mastering them and John has been asking which colors mixed together make which other colors.

So we traced six small circles on paper. Then in each of the circles I added drops of paint: 1 - red, 2 - red and yellow, 3 - yellow, 4 - yellow and blue, 5 - blue, 6 - blue and red. Then I gave them six q-tips which they used to fill in each circle with paint. We commented on what was happened to the different colors as they mixed together and formed a new color.

In each bottle add water, a couple drops of dish soap, and food coloring - then shake for suds. The boys LOVE them!! And insisted i make a white bottle too:
