Cellophane bag color mixing! 🎨 We've been reading Mix it Up by Herve Tullet. Miss 6 loves this interactive book so much she's been reading it to herself! I set up a colour mixing idea to engage my infant/toddler age group
🎨
This play idea uses clear cellophane gift bags. I added primary coloured poster paints to each bag and taped each bag to a plastic painting tray. The paint glides so easily through cellophane bags; easier than it does through plastic bags and there were no leaks! I also hear cellophane is biodegradable. If so, it is now my number one choice for sensory bags!

Through the week, the children used their hands, fingers, feet, paintbrushes, balls and other objects to explore the bags, which resulted in lots of colour mixing! I loved seeing the children walk, crawl and sit on the bags. They were so adventurous! Mr 19 months invented a two brush technique and Miss 6 drew shapes, letters and a maze with her fingers & toes 🎨
The cellophane bags are currently taped to the window and are so inviting for the children to continue their explorations! I had so many photos and videos during the week, they are all clipped into a one minute recording 👌
