15 Ways for Kids to Explore Color Mixing

 

My kids are always enthralled with mixing colors. Anytime I get out paints for a project, they are excitedly mixing and creating their own colors. I love seeing how excited they get when they create a color they didn’t expect or when they make a color that’s just right for their project.

By allowing children time to explore color mixing, whether on their own or in a directed fashion, kids can begin to gain an understanding of color theory in a hands-on way.

Color mixing doesn’t have to just be done with paints. You’ll find all kinds of creative ways for kids to explore color mixing in this collection of ideas from some wonderful kid bloggers!
