Food Colouring

My new icing colours just arrived by post! I’m so excited…I can’t wait to make play dough with my kids tomorrow! 🙂

I’m nuts about food colouring. It’s great, because you can use it to create fun sensory trays (by painting rice, pasta, sand, dough, flour), to paint with it (and oil, salt, water), to try out science experiments (volcanoes, lava lamps, water absorption), to make salt dough and slime, or just to make crafts.

I found great ideas on Pinterest, and these are some of my favourite:
Crafts:

• Cosmic Glue Suncatchers from babbledabbledo

Science Experiments:

• Learninghow plants absorb water! From pagingfunmums
• Bakingsoda and vinegar eruptions from learnplayimagine 
• Edibleslime from growingajeweledrose

Painting: 

• Color– Marbleized Paper from unplugyourkids
