What happens when blue mixes with yellow?

When blue and yellow mix together, they make green, just like when you combine your favorite crayons to create a new color.

Imagine you have two jars: one full of blue marbles and the other full of yellow marbles. If you pour both into a big bowl and shake them up, the marbles will blend together, creating a mix that looks green, like the grass in your backyard or the leaves on a tree.

How It Works

  • Blue is like calm water on a lake.
  • Yellow is like the bright sun shining down.
  • When they meet, it's like the lake catching the sunlight, and that makes green, the color of happiness and nature.

You can try this at home! Take blue and yellow paint and mix them together. Watch how they create green, just like when you mix your favorite snacks in a bowl to make a new treat!
