In our little corner of the world here in the Northeast, our days are getting shorter and the temperatures lower. For my family, that means we are always looking for fun indoor activities to keep little ones engaged. Using a few items you probably have around your house already, try some color mixing experiments.
You will need:
- at least 6 empty water bottles
- food coloring
- water
- paper towels
- funnels
Fill each bottle with about 1/3 of water
Drop blue, yellow, and red food coloring into 3 of the bottles.
Tip - lay down a dishtowel or use a tray to contain any spills.
Let your little ones mix and pour the primary colors together and see what they discover!
Bonus - This is a great exercise for fine motor skills.
Use a funnel to help with the mixing and pouring.
Minus some drips, we surprisingly made it through this activity with zero spills!
Watch your budding scientist come up with their own experiments and draw their own conclusions!
