Paint in a Bag

A multisensory teaching technique for younger children to learn about mixing colors.  I did this project with my toddler, so we were just exploring the feel of the paint in the bag.

1.)  Take two (or more) opposing paint colors.
2.)  Squirt them in a zip lock bag.
3.)  Tape the bag down onto a white piece of paper.
4.)  Let the child explore!
