Ways to Teach Kids Colors: How a Homeschooling Lunch Break Turned Into More Learning Activities Fun With Dad

My family runs on yogurt, any kind of brand. One day, we had a new brainstorm.

At lunchtime, we broke out some vanilla yogurt and added in a few M&Ms. Not just any M would do, though. My kindergartener took only a few yellow and red, and gave it a quick mix to create orange.

"What happens if we only mix yellow with blue?" Voila! Green!

I thought we were taking a lunch break from homeschooling, but instead, lunch was turning into an art lesson.

But don't stop at M&Ms! Frozen blueberries will make the yogurt turn purple. Frozen strawberries magically make pink. Let your child's imagination and creativity come up with all kinds of colorful ideas.
