Magic Dancing Milk

What you need:

• A shallow dish or tray (foil trays are fine)
• Food colouring
• Milk
• Toothpicks
• Soap

How you do it: You’ll need a shallow dish, such as an empty pie dish or baking tray. Submerge the bottom by pouring room temperature milk into it. Add a few blobs of food colouring (the children can do this part) and then hand each child a toothpick dipped in dish soap – and watch the colours dance.

We hope you all have a great week having fun and exploring new things. We look forward to hearing all about the great things you are up to. Please fee free to email them to j.nineham@princeofwales.dorset.sch.uk. We miss you all. Keep smiling and keep safe.
