Ice Cube Color Blending



Today we did some color blending using ice cubes. The kids were so surprised and had a blast seeing what colors we were going to make. I filled the ice tray last night and used food coloring to make the different colors. Hailey was a good sport in helping me teach Christopher what colors make other colors. Christopher and Hailey now know that Red+ Blue = Purple, Yellow + Red = Orange and Blue + Yellow = Green. (Hailey already knew but she played along)I did surprise Hailey by throwing in a mystery color. They now know that Orange + Green = Brown



This is them waiting to see what the mystery Color is.

fun! We tried this in the bathtub once but I used too much food coloring and it freaked me out that it would stain B's skin. =)
