Color mixing

Science

• The child learned about primary colors and how they can be mixed to create secondary colors.
• They learned that when two primary colors are mixed, a new color is formed.
• The child understood that mixing different amounts of primary colors can result in different shades and tints.
• They learned that red, blue, and yellow are primary colors.

Continued Development Tip: Encourage the child to explore color mixing further by experimenting with different combinations of primary colors. They can use paint, colored pencils, or even everyday objects like fruits and vegetables to create new colors. Encourage them to keep a color mixing journal to document their findings and observations.
