We did some measuring and color mixing today for Art. I found this Liquid Measuring Kit from Lakeshore Learning.
We used it along with my color mixing cards to measure and mix new colors.
First we filled each container with it’s designated color using water and food coloring.
Next we poured, mixed and measured our way to secondary colors and ultimately, icky brown water.
I don’t think anyone cared though, well except me, its hard for me to step out of my box and *gasp* …mix! Oh the horror!
But, alas, it was a great math and art activity all rolled in to one. And let’s face it, anything involving water pouring is a hit over here!
HI! i just stumbled onto your site and it looks so great! Quesiton, where should i start?? my youngest is 5.5 and been in 3 x week prek…knows his letters for most part but needs lots of reinforcement…do you have a suggestion as to where one begins>?? thanks so much!
That is too cool!! I'll have to check that set out.
Great idea. thanks for sharing the cards as well. My kiddos will love this.
Love your ideas! Just one question… in your color mixing chart it says that red and blue make pink… is that a typo?

Actually the amount of red to blue produce a “Hot Pink” color, and not a light pink. :o)
Interesting! I’ll give it a whirl. Thanks! 🙂
