The most exciting part of teaching colors to kids is presenting the primary colors: red, yellow and blue. But this is also a difficult part especially for 1 year old kids because this is the first time they will know that each color they see have names.

The part where parents get to choose what coloring material do they have to use for their babies is as hard as educating them with primary colors. Although, kids at this age have absorbent minds like that of a sponge. So, everything you teach them will be digested. However, be consistent because not all kids have the same level of intelligence. Some may not be interested with coloring materials. They will be more interested in other things like throwing away the papers or the eating them, so please be very careful.
You will need:
Cream (whip cream) or Condensed Milk
Food coloring (red, yellow, blue)
Paper
Containers
Apron (if you don't want your kids to get too messy)
(All though cream and condensed milk are edible, you still have to be cautious about it because the purpose of this activity is to introduce color and not for them to eat it.)
Put the cream in each container.
I just used jar lids to recycle them.
(You don't need to buy everything. Just less expenses but more of fun and learning.)
Food coloring
Add one color to each cream. Just 1-3 drops.
Mix it so the color will spread evenly.
And you're kids are ready to do abstract hand painting using the cream coloring materials.
Curiosity feeds the mind of a child.
While he's looking at the colors. I began telling him the name of each color.
Let the game begin!!!

Messy but it's Art.
Besides, there's no mistake in Art.
