Milk and Food Coloring

Yesterday we did 2 different activities with milk and food coloring.

 

We first colored our toast.....this is so fun and the kids always get a kick out of painting their food.

All you need is milk, food coloring, bread, and new paint brushes.

 

Add food coloring to your milk.

Then let the kids paint their bread with the colored milk.

Toast the bread.

You can tell the girls spent more time on their bread.......they wanted to cover it!

And eat!  Of course you can also spread some butter or jelly on as well

 They loved it!

We also did a fun little experiment with milk (2% or Vitamin D), food coloring and dish soap.

Fill the bowl or plate with a thin layer of milk and add a few drops of food coloring.

 

Then drip some dish soap on the food coloring and watch it move.....the milk fat reacts to the soap.....it will spin for quite a while and if you add dish soap to the dark areas, you can keep the action going even longer.....the kids thought it was pretty cool and we did this over and over again......so cool to watch!  An experiment that makes some cool art to look at.
