A First Science Experiment - Color Mixing

Although Bear has done color mixing with her paints, I thought this would be a fun way to show her again what happens when blue mixes with red and when blue mixes with yellow. I also wanted to see if she was ready to work with an eye dropper. We were pretty much done with the whole thing when I realized I hadn't taken a picture! Also, I'm sure I got this idea from one of the blogs I read, but I can't remember which one at the moment.

Bear enjoyed doing this, though we need a lot of practice with the dropper - she squeezes it and won't let go to let the liquid draw up.

So we wouldn't waste the colored water in the discs, I had Bear use the dropper to transfer the purple and green to a piece of paper. Unfortunately I didn't think to take a picture.

I saved the rest of the colored water in baby food jars for the next time I might need it.
