Food dropper colour mixing

This was our busy hands activity yesterday - mixing colours using food droppers. I got this idea from Itty Bitty Love and it worked out wonderfully. 

I filled dropper bottles with diluted red, blue and yellow food colouring and laminated sheets with dots (made from paint colour charts) - one with three large circles (primary colours) and another with twelve (primary, secondary and tertiary colour wheel).

Max put 1 drop of matching colour on each dot, mixed with a toothpick and placed a paper towel on top. Voila! A spectrum of colours!
