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!

In this simple and exciting project, kids drive toy monster trucks through puddles of paint on a big sheet of paper. As the trucks roll, they create colourful tracks and watch new colours emerge. Eventually, all colours mix together... and turn into glorious mud!


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What kids learn:

  • STEM colour science: How different paint colours combine to form brown (mud).
  • 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)
