Colour Mixing with water

The water tray had captured so much rain and the children were fascinated to know how it had got there... 

Our practitioners provided pipettes and a tray of paint nearby and it didn't take long for the children to transport them over to the tray of water, WOW what magical learning took place adding different colours to the water, seeing the colours mix and create new shades in the water. A beautiful moment shared and initiated by the children using nearby resources to extend their learning and curiosity. We were so grateful that it had rained that day and provided this spark of creativity from the children, it was wonderful to observe.
