Color Theory

I ran across this on Pinterest and I’ve been itching to try it out with the girls ever since.  Well, today Kate was begging to play with paint so I decided to give it a whirl.  It was a hit!  And super easy.  First I put some paint into some ziplock bags.  (We don’t usually have these on hand, but I bought some to package up our busy bag swap projects.  Score.) Then I taped the bags onto the table with a plain piece of white paper underneath so they could see the colors better.

Since there were three kiddos, we went with a bit of color theory action.

The color mixing was fun (yellow+blue worked the best) but what they really loved was the sensory aspect.

The paint was awesomely squishy.  Side note: try to get as much air out of the bags as possible before taping them down.

After the squishing had lost a bit of it’s appeal, we “drew” in the paint.

This project was awesome.  Painting with no mess!  Perfection.

I’m going to put the bags away and see if they work again tomorrow.  How cool would that be?
