A nice activity is just to let the children have some red and blue paint in a tray and print with it. I often let them have a little white too. Eventually it gets mixed around together and you have a nice mixture of red, blue and mauve printing. Print with anything that you have around, such as plastic bottle tops, corks, bits of sponge, cut fruit and veg, or ready-made printing tools.
TOP TIP: If you don't want lots of washing up, don't use rigid plastic palettes to put the paint in, but save the plastic trays that many vegetables, biscuits and cakes are packaged in. You can't recycle them, but at least they will have had two uses before they are thrown away.
