Goal: Uncover magic colors and explore mixing primary colors.
You will need:
- Baking soda
- Vinegar
- Food coloring
- Pipette, eye dropper, or squeeze bottle
- Small bowl
- Muffin pan (preferably for mini muffins)
Step 1: Add 1-2 drops of food coloring to the bottom of one of the muffin tins.
Step 2: Cover the food coloring with a small amount of baking soda. Make sure none of the colors show through!
Step 3: Use your pipette, eye dropper, or squeeze bottle to suction up some of the vinegar (this is a great fine motor skill practice for little ones!)
Step 4: Squeeze your dropper over the baking soda to reveal the hidden color!
Step 5: Try multiple colors. What happens if you mix the primary colors of red and yellow together?
