Underwater Fireworks Experiment * ages 2+

Underwater Fireworks Experiment 💥ages 2+💥 This oil and water experiment is super easy to set up and the effects are so amazing!

MATERIALS NEEDED (affiliate links):

Water

Vegetable Oil

Food Coloring

Shallow plate

Fork

WHAT TO DO:

1. Start by putting a few tablespoons of oil into a shallow plate and and several drops of food coloring in various colors. 2. Then gently mix the food coloring with a fork to break the drops up into smaller drops.

3. Carefully pour the oil into the water and watch the fireworks start.

WHY IT WORKS:

The food coloring doesn’t mix with the oil so once the mixture is added to the water the food coloring makes its way through the oil and starts to mix with the water. Very cool effect! 👍🏻💥
