Colored View
Directions:
- Cover a window with colored cellophane. Invite your children to look out of the window and see how the color changes their view. Each day cut out different colored celophane shapes and add them to the window. Point out the new color and shape and invite your children to see how the corners of cellophane overlap to make even more colors.
Shaving Cream Colors
Directions:
- Squirt shaving cream onto your table. Add a couple of drops of food coloring to one side and a couple of drops of another color to the other side. Let your children smear the shaving cream to create a new color.
Color Mixing
Directions:
- Fill large Ziploc bags 1/4 of the way full with two primary colors of paint (one on top of the other.) Have your children squeeze the bags to make a new color.
Cups Of Color
Directions:
- Give a white ice cube tray to the child and fill the first three holes with red, yellow and blue water. Give the child an eye dropper (or medicine dropper) and let them mix the colors in the empty spaces. This will create many shades of colors.
Sorting Colors
Directions:
- Have your children sort different manipulatives in your class by color. You can use buttons, pegs, bears, buttons etc.
