Food Colouring

My new icing colours just arrived by post! I’m so excited…I can’t wait to make play dough with my kids tomorrow :)

I only discovered this amazing product last year – and I’m nuts about it. Food colouring is great, because you can use it to create fun sensory trays (by painting rice, pasta, sand, dough, flour), paint with it ( and oil, salt, water), try out science experiments (volcanoes, lava lamps, water absorption), make salt dough and slime, or make crafts.

I found great ideas on Pinterest, and these are some of my favourite:

Crafts:

Cosmic Glue Suncatchers from babbledabbledo

Science Experiments:

Learning how plants absorb water! from pagingfunmums

Color Changing Milk: A Creative Science Experiment from kidsactivitieslog

Baking soda and vinegar eruptions from learnplayimagine

Edible slime from growingajeweledrose

Painting:

Color – Marbleized Paper from unplugyourkids
