I loved this post on House Of Baby Piranha about Magic Colour Drinks awhile ago and wanted to try it out as a water play activity. It was finally warm enough today to have a go and it was very popular! Bubble didn't drink her coloured water but had an absolute ball watching the colours and then mixing them together.
WE USED:
* plastic cups
* plastic cutlery
* food colouring
* tub/bucket of water
* small jug

A spot of food colouring in the bottom of each cup.
I set out a large tub of water and a small jug so that Bubble could practice scooping and pouring. The cutlery was just for extra play value as Bubble had decided she was 'making a picnic' :-)
Once all the cups were filled Bubble started mixing them together to make other colours.
I am so happy you tried this it is a lot of fun :)
ReplyDeleteBubble really enjoyed it Philippa, its such a great idea! She actually started mixing the colours by herself which I was so excited about, I love when something inspires them to teach themselves.
