Experimenting with Food Coloring

I found a couple cute, easy food coloring activities for Emmery to do. It turned out to be even cooler than I expected!


All we needed was a plate, milk, food coloring, a toothpick, and some dish soap. I love finding stuff that I can do without running to the store for supplies! We poured some milk on the plate and then dripped all different colors of food coloring on it.




Next Emmery took the toothpick (which had a drop of dish soap on the end) and touched the spots of color. 




When the toothpick touches the color it explodes in size! So cool! I don't know who liked this one better, me or Emmery.






The colors start to swirl and mix, so pretty!


















The next one we did used baking soda, vinegar, and food coloring. I put some baking soda on the plate. Then put a few drops of food coloring in some cups of vinegar. 






She used an eye dropper to drip the vinegar onto the baking soda. 




When the vinegar hits the baking soda it bubbles up.
