                  What You Need:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    1. Start with three separate balls of playdough (one of each color)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    2. Show children how to take a small pinch from two colors<\/li>\n\n\n\n

                        Encourage children not to mix all the colors at once<\/strong>. Mixing small amounts at a time helps them create lots of different colors instead of one big brown ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Why It Works:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          \n
                        • Slows the process down so children can observe changes<\/li>\n\n\n\n

                            4. Observe what happens when colors meet and blend<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                              What Kids Notice:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
