As well as, students that are more kinesthetic learners. This is an interestingway to mix the three primary colours. First we filled a shallow bowl with milk then dropped three drops of liquid red food colouring slightly away fromthe centre of the bowl. Then we added three drops of blue and three drops of yellow so that the colours formed a triangle. We squirted a small amount of washing up liquid in the centre of the triangleand watched what happened. (You can read aboutwhy the colours mix when you add the washing up liquid here). It was fascinating watching the colours move butit took a while for them to really mix together. Welove Hervé Tullet’s ‘ Press Here‘ and ‘Mix It Up’ is a lot of funtoo. It’s a greatbook to read but also provides an introduction to the three primary colours, the secondary colours that result from mixing them and shows how you can make colours lighter or darker. The New York Times bestselling book, a brilliant companion to the mega-selling classic Press Here , is now gently compressed into a toddler-friendly board book.

AN EDUCATIONAL GIFT: The gorgeous graphic visuals make this book an irresistible choice for gift-giving, while the educational concept is an appealing bonus. One of our favourite art activities is great forshowing what happens when you mix the primary colours. We covered a small canvas with strips of red, yellow and blue crepe paper (making sure that there were some overlaps). Then we squirted the paper with water and waited. The second picture shows how the paperlooked after half an hour, the third picture shows the paper after leaving it overnight. We removed the paper to see how the colourshad mixed (my daughter thinks that it looks like sunset over the sea).This color mixing activity was an absolute hit. Both Theo and Lucy have already mentioned more than once they want to do it again! This book is a part of a series Herve Tullet created with his interactive color dots. He originally wrote “Press Here”, which teaches children their colors in an interactive story.
