Our friends were very engaged learners when taking part in the magic colours activity!

We decorated our egg by carefully dragging the droplets around. This was a great way to support our fine motor development, especially our pincer grip.

We displayed dispositions for learning such as persistence and cooperation.

We also took the time to explore the different colours to expand our knowledge. Some friends figured out, if you mixed two colours together it would create a new colour.
