Something that has really fascinated kids for long time is that oil and water won't mix together! They can shake and shake and shake but it won't mix. Here's how you can do this science experiment with your children by doing this easy kids crafts idea.
What you will need:
- A clean, empty, clear wanter bottle with no label.
- Water
- Vegetable oil
- Masking tape
Here's how to make your own oil bottle with your child:
- Pour in a quarter cup oil into the bottle
- Make sure the outside is clean
- Have your child fill the rest of the bottle with water
- Close the bottle top tightly, or it will leak.
- You can (or not) have your child help you put masking tape around the top of the bottle with the cap,, this makes sure it doesn't get opened, wrap around 4-6 times with tape
- Shake to make sure it does not leak
- Give to your child and have fun! .
Note: The oil and water can get old you may want to replace this after a few weeks.
