To be
honest, this activity didn’t exactly turn out as planned. The beginning idea
was to explore marbling paper – with regular ol’ items that you’d have in your
kitchen. That said, it didn’t go so well. The marbling part never really
happened.
That’s okay.
If I had a penny for every failed art activity – well, you can figure out the
rest. Art activities don’t always come wrapped in a pretty little box with a
perfectly curled ribbon on top. They can be messy and they often have completely
unexpected results. But, that’s the joy of art!
This combines
both art and science into one discovery-oriented activity. Start it off by
making a few predictions. Ask your child what he thinks will happen when he
adds the oil to the water. Will it mix into one new liquid? Won’t it? Why or
why not? You’ll be adding food coloring later. When you get to that step, stop and
ask him to again predict what will happen.
Keep in
mind, this is an exploration and not a project where your child ‘make something’.
Snap a few pics along the way. This gives you something concrete to remember.
It also allows you to document the process. Print the photos, hang them up and
use them as a starting point for a discussion later on. You won’t have an
actual concrete ‘project’ to talk about, so doing this lets you reinforce the
learning – even after clean-up time.
Here’s What
You’ll Need:
·
A
shallow pan – we used a shallow pie pan
·
Water
·
Veggie,
olive or canola oil
·
Food
coloring
·
Something
to stir with – we used a chopstick, put you can also use a spoon, a straw or a
stick
Here’s What
to Do:
1. Fill the
bottom of the pan with a shallow layer of water.
2. Drop a few
drops of oil into the water. Watch what happens.
3. Stir the
oil. Again, watch what happens. After your child has made a few observations,
add some more oil to see what happens.
4. Drip food
coloring into the oil and water. Start with the primary colors if possible
(red, yellow and blue). Drip the first color in. Watch what happens. Drip in
the next, and so on. Let your child see what the colors do, before he starts
stirring. Observe, and talk about how they move and if they mix or don’t. Let
him to tell you why he thinks this happens.
5. Stir the
colors. Start slowly, seeing what new colors come from the primaries. Ask your
child to tell you what he thinks will happen if he continues to stir them.
6. Keep
stirring.
Make a point
of exploring how the water and oil affect the color mixing. You can add to this
kids’ science and art activity by making a second pan that just uses water and
food coloring (in other words, don’t add the oil). Compare and contrast how the
two are different, asking your child why he thinks the liquids behave the way
they do.
How did your
child’s oil and water color mixing experiment turn out? This is what happened to
ours! Tell us what happened with yours, and share your child’s art and science
experience in the comments section below.
This kind of the event is very interesting and useful for the future of the kids.

Water beads is fun. We recommend that you only play with it when the children no longer put anything uncontrollably in their mouth. The balls are made of polymers, also known as superabsorbents . This is actually what is in baby diapers and absorbs moisture - often in a smaller granule form and combined with additional layers. They are said to be biodegradable and harmless, but I would still make sure that no one eats them. website
