Freeze different color ice cubes. Choose primary colors that will turn into a secondary color if mixed. Read Mouse Paint by Ellen Walsh. Place two ice cubes in a white bowl, and have the children predict the color the water will be once the ice melts. Continue to experiment. Ask, “What if we add another cube?”  This activity could be done in small group.
