Display primary colors of tempera paint in bowls and have the children choose two colors. Put a spoonful of the two colors into plastic bags and have them mix the colors together. Talk about and compare the different colors created. Hang the bags near a window to create a stained glass effect. Ask the children, “What happens when you add a drop of white or black?” Experiment to find out. This can be done in small group.
