Primary colors, Black and White Paints

We had fun with color mixing with Play-Doh when my son was in preschool. We enjoyed this activity by mixing paints. We used primary colors (red, yellow, and blue) and black and white paints to make grey or add some shades.

Step by Step

1. First, we prepared the paints on the paint palette. We used Red, Blue, Yellow, Black and White paints.

2. We used this color mixing worksheet (You can download it above). This worksheet shows which color you added together. That is why there are plus signs and equal signs.

Before you mix the colors, paint the two circles with the colors you picked. After mixing them on the palette, paint the last circle right next to the equal sign with mixed color so that you can see the result later easily.

Here is the example. (My son’s mixing)
