Rainbow Squish Bags

Jennifer teaches mixing two colors to create a new color with this easy preschool activity. 

Materials: Zipper zip lock bag, shaving cream and food coloring.

Description: Each child has his / her own bag almost full of plain white shaving cream, they then choose two colors they like and add three drops of each of the two colors.  For example, 3 drops yellow and 3 drops blue the bag is then zipped shut (and should be taped also).  Then the child squishes the bag, mixing the yellow and blue to create: green!  This is almost magic to them!
You could ask the children before they begin squishing, "What new color do you think will appear?" 
Children love this activity for the sensory experiences and fun.
Comments: Be prepared for each child to want to make more than one!
