Food Colouring Art

January 4, 2013 by Kate Leave a Comment

Where I live it has been really hot. It’s always hard to keep kids entertained when they can’t go outside because of the heat. I find it’s always a good idea to have a few good activities that children can do indoors or outdoors. They need to be engaging, educational and allows them to be creative. 
 
What better than this fun activity for them?
 
I simply used household items that you’d mostly find in your cupboard. 
 
 
 
 
  • food colouring (preferably with droppers)
  • absorbing paper towel
  • baking paper or tin foil  
__________________________________
 
Simply have the children paint or drop droplets of food colouring onto the absorbing paper.
 
 
I placed some tin foil underneath just because I didn’t want the food colouring to stain my bench. 
 
 
 
These looks so beautiful and I found I could be so creative.
Kids will have a great time with this idea. 
 
You can make it educational too. Here I had a go at creating a number ‘4’ page. 
Children could make numbers or letters. 
 
 
You can also discuss how colours change when they mix together.

I hope you enjoy this one. 
Please feel free to provide me with some feedback. I love to hear from you.
