Looking for a fun and easy STEM activity for toddlers? Start teaching colour theory to kids as young as 2 years old — through messy, colourful play they'll love!

- Art and colour theory: Mixing Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow to create new colours.
What you need for this colour mixing activity:
- A large piece of paper
- Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow paint
- One or more toy monster trucks
- The Monster Trucks lesson plan (PDF)
