MMs Colour Leaking

Posted 2013-02-13 by carlyfollow
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.

Time: 5 minutes
Age: Over 1s
Level: Easy



Materials
  • M&Ms in various colours
  • Shallow containers, such as chocolate moulds or lids
  • Water



  • Method
  • Place M&Ms in the containers, leave a little space between each one.
  • Carefully pour water into the containers.



  • Keep the containers steady and watch how the water leaks the colour off the M&Ms.
  • Observe the colour spread through the water.
  • Kids will also enjoy seeing what happens when the colours touch in the water.
