Exploding Milk Colors

Materials: pie plate, whole milk (about a cup, at room temperature), food coloring, liquid soap

Have your child pour the milk into the pie plate. Then, ask him to choose a bottle of food coloring and squeeze a few drops into the milk. Set the stage for scientific thinking by asking, “What do you think will happen when we add the soap?” Then, put one drop of liquid soap into the milk and watch the colors explode! Ask things like, “What happened to the colors?” and “Do you see any new colors?”

Moon Sand

Materials: 4 cups sand, 2 cups cornstarch, 1 cup water, bowl, smock or cover-up

This activity can get messy! Make sure to have your child cover up with a smock, apron, or old t-shirt before starting. Have your child use her hands to mix the sand and cornstarch in the bowl. Give her time to feel the two textures. Slowly pour the water in as she’s mixing and have her move the materials around until everything is combined. Ask, “What does it feel like?” Give her time to play with the moon sand and figure out what it can do.
