Exploring colors with kids is so much fun and these color activities are perfect for any time play! Learning the names of colors, sorting colors, mixing colors, creating with colors is all a part of early learning play.
I love to share the same concept in many different ways so my son has an opportunity to practice new skills and maintain already mastered skills and concepts. Color mixing is always lots of fun once you move past basic color recognition!

We are still working on the color mixing theory here. There are so many neat ways to try this one out. We also have a fizzy dough color mixing tray (here) and play dough color mixing (here)!

These are really fun-looking activities. I think my older adults may enjoy doing/ discussing some of them, too.
[fyi: each of these color activities pages had loading problems, in Chrome and IE, and pop-up – “message from webpage not found”. IDK if there is a problem due to the videos following us around on the page, but that sounds complicated – would bog down the system.]
