For this activity, I prompted my preschooler’s thinking with these phrases. However, watch and see what happens! I bet your child will come up with some epic discoveries on thier own as well.

• What color do you think you will see if you look though red and blue?
• Have you tried combining blue and yellow?
• What color do you think you will see if you combine red and yellow?

Full disclosure, my preschooler thought of this idea himself.  – Children often make the best discoveries and this is a reminder to sit back and watch what happens.
