Today in School: Magic Milk

It was beautiful outside today.  This morning we had school with Merritt mostly outside.  I used an idea from here because it is cool and I already had all the items for it.

We added food coloring to containers of milk and then used a MAGIC wand (toothpick dipped in soap) to watch the colors move.  And, boy did they MOVE.  It was magical to watch.  Evy's magic milk really would churn for a minute or so once he used his wand.  He did use quite a bit of coloring and layered the colors on each other before using the wand.

We then sponge painted with the dyed milk.  Everett enjoyed that part; Merritt went off to play in his water toys.
