This is great for a summer project or as a class activity. An owesome experiment to learn about capillary action and colour mixing.

You need to plan some time for it- to prepare, to make it, to observe and note the changes.

Make sure you take pictures and talk about what is happening. In the end, you can use the water and the colored papers to make some crafts.


It is super easy, very cool- inspiring and beautiful.
