This activity is a fun way to learn about colour mixing and it's cheap too. Even young children will enjoy watching while slightly older ones can talk about what they can see.

Age: Over 1s

Materials
Shallow containers, such as chocolate moulds or lids
Place M&Ms in the containers, leave a little space between each one.

Observe the colour spread through the water.
Kids will also enjoy seeing what happens when the colours touch in the water.
