Pour one cup of whole milk into a wide bowl. Carefully place one drop each of red, blue and yellow food coloring at the center of the bowl. Make sure the colors do not touch each other. Use a cotton swab to place a drop of child-safe dish soap in the center of the bowl. Observe the swirling colors. Talk to the children about what happened. Provide a picture of a circle and red, blue and yellow crayons for each child to draw their observation. This can be done in small group.
