Simple science and sensory play are always a hit at my house. The kids love exploring and playing. One afternoon I set them up a simple soapy potions mixing station. They could explore the science of color mixing while enjoying their senses. This is also a great way to get multiaged kids to play together on an afternoon. Soapy potions color mixing was a fun way to spend our afternoon.
Soapy Potion Mixing
Supplies/what we used:
science kit- beakers and test tubes
more plastic beakers
soap
food coloring
water
How to set up/what I did:
I gathered a lot of our stuff from our science kits and a few empty juice bottles. I took 3 small bottles and mixed soap, food coloring, and water. I had red, blue, and yellow bottles at the end. I laid out a white plastic tablecloth on the deck and sat all the supplies on top. Now the kids were ready to play and learn.
They opened the colored bottles to start. Pouring a little yellow and a little red. So what did they get, orange.
Pour a little blue and a little red you get purple.
Pour a little yellow and a little blue you get green. This was a great activity to practice pouring liquids too. This was a great hands on learning activity for the kids. They got to watch the colors mix and change before their eyes. All 3 of my kids ages 6, 4, and 2yr enjoyed this simple science and sensory play activity. I can see us doing this again soon.
