Milk Color Rush (Kid Science Experiment)

6:57 PM Unknown 0 Comments

The kids and I discovered this activity over the summer and it was a HUGE hit! I'll admit I was initially worried if it would hold interest, because to be frank if its not Fornite related, it's "stupid" in the words of my 8 year old.

Surprisingly the bright colors and the effect, won them over for a few minutes. They wanted to create it again and again!

To produce the color rush you need a shallow pan (we used a cake pan), enough milk to cover the bottom of the pan, and a variety of food coloring (we use neon colors). It is really beautiful when using at least 3 different colors.

You will also need dish detergent (or hand soap) and if you have a little one like mine, who doesn't like to get their hands dirty, you'll need a Q-tip (cotton swab).

Fill the pan with milk, drop in several drops of food coloring in different colors, dip the Q-tip in detergent and place it in in the center of the pan. Watch the effect! The colors will rush away!

If your child is willing, they can just dip their finger in the dish detergent (instead of a cotton swab) and place their finger in the center of the pan to create the rush away effect.
