Mixing Colors - Preschool Activities

September 13th, 2007

Have a little fun in the kitchen with some food coloring.  Simple science, math and even art can be accomplished all around the family kitchen with everyday materials.  Our youngest two are learning how to create colors by mixing  primary colors together. 

step 1. Begin with a bowl of oatmeal.

Step 2. Go over the color wheel with your children and have them choose a color for the oatmeal.

Step 3. Add the color to your oatmeal.

Step 4.  Allow your child to stir the oatmeal (with as little help as possible).

This makes morning breakfast an educational experience.  Enjoy!

    This is a great idea! The finished product looks a bit yucky, cut I will bet the kids loved it!

    They did love eating green porridge. Now I need them to want to eat green veggies with as much enthusiasm!:-)
