RAINBOW MILK


My friend Megan shared this GREAT activity idea with me and i'll be forever grateful. It's a ton of fun.

Here's what you need:


Hershey's Syrup
Food Dye
6 Clear cups
Milk

Simple right?
Ok, here's what you do...

You pour a TINY amount of milk in the bottom of each cup.
Add food coloring to make the colors of the rainbow,
red, yellow, orange, green, blue, purple
you could also just do the 4 colors if you want.


then, you just let the kids have a blast pouring and mixing and learning what colors look like mixed with other colors.






Then, once they are all mixed and the milk looks brown, you add a little chocolate syrup and they get to enjoy and yummy little treat!

 

If your kids are anything like mine, they LOVE to pour stuff, mix stuff, and eat treats. This little activity gives them the satisfaction of each of those and they'll definitely beg you to do it again. Mine do EVERY day. :-)

Happy Mixing!
