How do you mix it up?

Mixing things up is like combining your favorite snacks to make a new tasty treat.

Imagine you have a bowl of blueberries and a bowl of strawberries. If you pour both into one big bowl, you’re mixing them up. Now you have a fun mix of red and blue berries, just like how you might mix colors on a painting or combine ingredients in a recipe.

• When you mix two things together, they become one group with both parts inside.
• It’s like putting your toy cars and toy trucks into one big toy box. Now the box has both kinds of toys, you can still find each kind, but they’re all in one place.

Mixing doesn’t change what the things are, it just puts them together so you can use or see them as a group. So next time you mix your snacks, remember: you're making something new by putting old favorites together!
