MessA little messy

You need

  • Clear cups
  • Water
  • Food coloring or bath color drops

Let's play

  1. Fill three cups with red, yellow and blue water.
  2. Pour a bit of red into yellow. What color now?
  3. Try blue and yellow, then red and blue.
  4. Pour everything together at the end. (Spoiler: brown!)
Grown-up tip: Try the Color Mixer game afterward. Stay within arm’s reach of a child in the bath the whole time.
