This week it seems that spring has arrived in the uk, earlier this week I collected Thomas from work a bit early and we spent some time in the garden, he loved stripping down to his vest and playing in a big water tub. He got a bit cold so I took him indoors - screaming!!! I ran him a bath to warm him up but he just wanted to go outdoors, I knew I needed something more to entice him into the bath - the food colouring. I put a few drops of red in and he couldn't wait to get in and play! He swirled the colouring with his hand and smiled and giggled, I then added some blue at the other end. This was a really cheap and easy activity for us to do and certainly be doing it again.
What different ways have you used food colouring?? Share your ideas in the comments.
great idea! what do you use instead of liquuid colouring though? i didnt know there was an alternative!
ReplyDeleteSorry only just seen this! You can also get paste food colouring in little tubs. Since writing this we tried that too, the colour is really intense but it stains the skin so haven't tried it again.
