Description

A fun and vibrant science experiment that explores color mixing and melting processes with engaging visuals.


Ingredients

  • Baking tray or shallow dish
  • White shaving cream (non-foaming)
  • Liquid food coloring (rainbow colors)
  • Toothpicks or a skewer
  • Paper towels
  • Gloves (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your station: Choose a well-ventilated area and spread out your materials on a flat surface. Place the baking tray or shallow dish.
  2. Create the base: Generously spread the white shaving cream in the tray, creating an even layer, and smooth it out.
  3. Add color: Drop liquid food coloring onto the shaving cream, creating spots or lines.
  4. Swirl and mix: Use a toothpick to gently swirl the colors into the shaving cream.
  5. Finish up: Gently scrape a piece of paper across the top of the shaving cream to reveal the marbled design.

Notes

Experiment with different color palettes or materials like yogurt for varied textures.
