How it works

  1. 1

    Let's start by showing your child the three cups of colored water. Point to each one and name the colors together. Say something like, 'Look, we have red water, blue water, and yellow water!'

  2. 2

    Now, let's pour a little red water into an empty cup, then add a little blue water. Watch what happens! Encourage your child to observe the color change.

  3. 3

    Now let your child try mixing two colors they chooses. Offer guidance but let your child lead. Ask, 'What do you think will happen if we mix yellow and blue?'

  4. 4

    Let's explore what happens if we mix all three colors. Ask your child, 'What do you think will happen if we put red, blue, and yellow together?'
