Colour Mixing Experiments

Colour Mixing Experiments

Min number of participants 1
Age 3–9 yrs.
Safety support by adult Not required
Min duration 20 min.
Cost None (Free)
Environment Indoor / Outdoor

Fill glasses with water, add food colouring, and mix combinations to discover new hues — a simple kitchen science activity that teaches children colour theory and the joy of discovery.

The Essentials

  • Start with just the three primary colors (red, yellow, blue) so kids see how every other color is created
  • Use clear glasses so children can watch the colors swirl and blend as they mix, not just see the final result
  • Add colors one drop at a time and count together, since ratios change the resulting shade dramatically
  • Try mixing complementary colors (red and green, blue and orange) to show how they cancel out into brown or gray
  • Let kids predict the resulting color before mixing, turning it into a simple hypothesis-and-test science experiment
