  1. Oh - they're going to absorb the colors, aren't they? Then you'll have a rainbow!

  3. Yes, Mrs. Lisa.

    Mom, She is unhappy because we were finished with the part where you mix the dye and water with a spoon. She was making music and I stifled her creative talent. ;)

  4. I didn't know that was how you did that! I'll have to try that here!! How long does it take for the flowers to change?

  5. Melissa, It is a lot of food coloring for 1/4 cup of water. The Children used the entire bottles of food coloring. It took about 2 hours for us to see some change. 24 hours for it to reach their peak color.

    I had done this and then I happened to see that "Almost Unschoolers" had done it this week too. She shows how much little water you actually need for it. She also has some extra links for it too. (Scroll down about 3 post)http://almostunschoolers.blogspot.com

  9. I laughed out loud when I read what you wrote "she was making music and I stifled her creative talent" hahahahah. What a fun experiment. I'm not sure how my kids would do - since it takes a few hours. They might go bananas waiting for the results to show! ☺
