Magic Milk Colors

This is a great science project to do with the kids when you end up with milk that is too sour to drink but not yet curdled. Pulled the idea and pics from Our Best Bites blog.

Place milk in a shallow dish and add some drops of liquid food coloring.

Now grab a *magic* toothpick.  What?  You don’t know where to buy magic toothpicks??  Just dip the end in dish soap :) and let your kiddo touch the milk with it. 

The colors instantly shoot out at lightning speed creating a wake of rainbows!  Try dipping the toothpick in the color first and then the milk and you’ll make rings.

Do it a few more times and then just sit back and watch.  As the soap disrupts the surface tension of the milk, the colors dance around all by themselves.  Kind of like a funky kaleidoscope.
