For this activity we mixed about a tsp of cooking oil with several drops of food coloring.
We stirred it with a fork. It settled quickly, so we had to keep stirring as we made our art.
Then we dropped the mixture onto a cookie sheet using the dropper. We also flung the mixture onto the cookie sheet with forks.
O placed a sheet of paper on the drops of color, and we watched as the color appeared on the back of the paper as it was absorbed.
Ta-ta! (as O says anytime she has something to show you!) Here are our masterpieces!
Wow! That looks like something that my boy would be interested in! We'll be trying that! :)
ReplyDeleteLove this idea! Looks like a great science or open-ended art project for my preschoolers!
