In the center of each circle, draw a circle with the marker, about 1/4 inch wide and color it in with the marker.

On the blank sheet of white paper, draw a square bigger than the circles.

In a very bright part of the house, place the paper with the square on it so the child can quickly glance at it.

Take the red circle and stare at the center circle for 20 seconds.

If you're doing this experiment at night, make sure you have a lamp on and it's near the circle that you're staring at.

After 20 seconds, look at the sheet of paper with the square on it.

You should see the circle, but it's no longer red! It should be a shade of blue and green.

Do the same with the blue and green circles.

With the blue circle, you should see yellow when you look at the square.

And the green circle should be a color like purple, or a cross between blue and red!
