Preschool Water Color Mixing Experiment

We had outdoor educational fun during our color mixing experiment with Banana Boat as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars #BestSummerEver
 
While observing Bean playing in the sprinkler last week, I realized that the majority of the time she wasn’t using the sprinkler for what you would typically think. I found her spending most of her time filling up various cups and buckets and pouring them into each other. She was so focused and having so much fun doing something us adults wouldn’t technically consider “entertaining”. And then, LIGHT BULB!

I thought I could combine this entertaining activity with education by adding color to the mix! With just a few simple supplies you can have your own water color mixing experiment fun with your preschooler…
