Padmarchana, from Washinton, USA, sent in this great magic potion idea. Let’s take a look at it…
What did you do?
We made a magic potion.
Materials needed:
1: Warm water in a clear glass.
2: 2/3 table spoons of oil in a cup
3: Food colors – red, green, blue, yellow…
4: Spoon for mixing
Instructions:
Take 2/3 table spoons of oil in a cup. Add few drops of different food colors into the that bowl. Mix them well. Take warm water in a clear glass. Add the oil mixture with a spoon. You could see the each color getting mixed in the water slowly making it look like a magic potion.
I love the way colors get mixed into the water slowly leaving the oil on top. That looks pretty cool.
Do you have any other projects planned?
I am planning preschool math games with the stuff that are easily available at home or from the Dollar Store.
