Colour mixing is a great activity for young children to learn about colours and practice colour recognition. During this activity, the children used paint to mix one primary colour (ex. red, blue or yellow) with another primary colour. By mixing these colours together, a new colour was created. These are called secondary colours (ex. purple, green or orange). Through this activity, children can experiment and explore their creativity to create many variations of colours, including tertiary (ex. brown, burgundy).
