Mixing Primary Colors

The Core Colors: The three primary colors are red, yellow, and blue.
Making New Colors:
- Red + Yellow = Orange
- Yellow + Blue = Green
- Red + Blue = Purple
Fun Activities: Use finger paint, colored playdough, or water mixed with food coloring.
Why It Helps: Hands-on color mixing builds fine motor skills, introduces early science concepts, and grows vocabulary.
