Pour milk into a flat container—the fattier, the better. Using pipettes and colored water, create colorful paintings in the milk. You can try creating a cosmic nebula or a decorative mandala with your child . The next step is to conduct an experiment by dipping a cotton swab soaked in dishwashing liquid into the previously created creation. The colors will immediately dissolve under the influence of the detergent, creating whimsical patterns.
