Yellow & Blue make Green!

10/4/2012

    We have been having a lot of fun with the color green this week, including a couple of different ways to see how we can make green.  First, we started with a tub of blue and a tub of yellow water beads, and the kids mixed some of each together for us to observe.  Since the water beads absorb and release moisture, they all exchanged their colors and we ended up with a bowl of green water beads!

    Today, we played with some big clear bags of paint.  Each bag had both blue and yellow paint inside, so as the kids drew and wrote with their fingers on the bags, they mixed the two colors together to make green!

I love your ideas! How long did it take the blue and yellow water beads to exchange colors and make green?

Thanks!

Thanks so much, Jamie!! I can't remember for sure, but I know it took at least a few hours for the water beads to trade their colors. I think we mixed them in the morning and by afternoon they were pretty uniformly green.
