Tell the children that they will be stepping into the primary colors and mixing them to make new colors. 4. Take the children outside. Ask them to sit while you pour paint puddles about one foot apart on the sidewalk. Pour three puddles of each color. 5. Let the children walk through the paint, mixing it.
