Milk Art/Science

 We LOVE doing art projects and we LOVE doing science experiments, so this next post is a little something that combines both. Be prepared for a bunch of pictures because they're all just so pretty!!!

 This activity is really easy to put together and it's a hit for kids of all ages. Even my two year old got involved this last time.

 What you need:
 A plate with a good sized rim
 Milk (I use 2% because that's what we drink. You do want something with higher fat content.)
 Food colouring
 Q-tips
 Dish soap

 1. Pour some milk into the plate. You just need a thin layer. Make sure the bottom of the plate is completely covered.

 2. Put drops of food colouring randomly throughout the milk. You want to be careful with how many of the primary colours you're putting close to each other because it will quickly turn into a muddy mess. More is not necessarily better for this.

 3. Dip your Q-tip into some dish soap. Then put the Q-tip into the milk on top of your drops of food colouring. Hold it there and watch the reaction happen.

 4. Repeat step 3 as many times as you want!
