Milk painting with kids by Modern Parents Messy KidsMagical Milk

Who knew that such amazing artwork could be created by just adding milk? Needless to say, we cannot get enough of this fun project for milk painting featured on Modern Parents Messy Kids!

Mom Stephanie says that this project was both beautiful and easy — only requiring a tupperware container lid, milk, food coloring, dish soap, and "magic" toothpicks. Once your food coloring has been dropped into the milk, simply dip the toothpick into a dish with dish soap and have your child add it to the colorful milk concoction. The soap disrupts the surface tension of the milk and causes the colors to radiate away, creating a gorgeous Milky Way-esque masterpiece. Overall, this is one afternoon art activity that's sure to become a new family favorite!
