Mixing colours

It's great fun for kids to mix paints to make new colors. You can use the primary colors (red, blue, and yellow) plus black and white to get all of the colors of the rainbow.

Sometimes kids will mix lots of colours together,they will end up having a big splodge brown on the paper.

We used food colouring, and kitchen roll to show how the colours merge together, the results are stunning.

You need :
1) Some kitchen roll paper sheets.
2) Three primary food colours diluted with some water.

Children( 3+) can do this by themselves. First they fold the kitchen paper serveral times, Second dip every side in the different food colour, then third unfold the paper, admiring the results!

The two primary colours will naturally merge together slowly to produce new colour.
