Description

A delightful DIY project for creating colorful coffee filter flowers using chromatography techniques. Perfect for kids and adults alike to explore creativity and color blending.


Ingredients

  • Coffee filters (cone or round)
  • Washable markers (any colors you love)
  • A shallow dish or tray for water
  • A dropper or a small spoon (for applying water)
  • Paper towels or a clean surface for drying
  • Optional: small vases or containers for displaying finished flowers

Instructions

  1. Begin by laying out your coffee filters on a flat surface.
  2. Use the washable markers to draw designs on one side of a coffee filter.
  3. Once you are satisfied with your design, take your dropper or small spoon and gently apply water to the coffee filter.
  4. Set the filter aside on a paper towel to dry.
  5. After the filter has dried completely, fold it like a fan or gently pinch the center to create a flower shape.
  6. Arrange your flowers in a small vase or display them wherever you choose.
  7. Repeat the process with other filters, experimenting with different colors and designs.

Notes

Encourage storytelling with the flowers and explore different types of paper and markers for unique color blends.
