Mixing colors: blue and yellow

Mix blue and yellow paint together and discover that they make green.

You already turned red and yellow into orange. Today you try two new colors: blue and yellow.

Mix a little blue with a little yellow. Watch closely. What new color shows up this time?

📋 For the teacher

Teach it (10–15 min):

Set out just three paint colors this week: red, yellow, blue. Every other color comes from these three.
Let your child predict before mixing: ask what they think blue and yellow will make.
Line up the two mixing results side by side: orange from last week, green from today.
Name the pattern out loud: mixing two colors makes a brand new color.

Talk about it:

Mastery looks like: They predict and correctly name green as the result of mixing blue and yellow.

Common stumbles: Mixing in leftover red from the palette by accident, muddying the green.
