At the end of February we decided to throw in a random day focused on Colors. It was a lot of fun to play "I Spy" and learn about Rainbows. We used a flashlight to help the kids understand the concept that you can SEE a rainbow but that you can't hold it because it's just light. I saw a few light bulbs go on as we shined the light into their hands and asked them to try and pick it up. I think the kids most enjoyed our science experiment of Color Mixing. We used playdough to create different colors. The kids started off by recording which colors we were starting with (Red and Yellow) and then they were encouraged to make a "Predicition" about what color it would make when Red and Yellow were mixed together, then they each received two small pieces of each color of playdough and had to mix them together until they saw a new color appear. They were so excited to see the results! We made Orange, Green, and Purple. Very Fun. Just as a note for anyone who may try this at home. We actually didn't have any "RED" playdough but Pink was a great substitute.
