Today I’m sharing another great simple kitchen experiment for kids. All you need is a bag of skittles and you can make a rainbow! We used our leftover skittles from the Halloween candy. It was a lot of fun watching a rainbow of colors expand across the plate. Here’s how simple it is:
What you need:
- wide flat plate
- a bag of colorful skittles
- cup with pouring spout i.e. measuring cup
- water
Instructions:
- Arrange skittles in a circle on the plate ensuring there is plenty of space in the middle of the circle
- Fill the measuring cup with water
- Pour a little water over the skittles, just enough to get them all wet
- Watch the rainbow grow towards the center of the plate
- Eat leftover candy!
