About Four days before needed or as a group, chop small portions of candle wax
coloring put them in bable oil (it takes about 4 days to melt into the baby
oil). Once the mixture is melted, color water using food coloring. Next add
colored baby oil to the bottom 1/2 of the bottle and the colored water the the
top 1/2. Seal the bottles and shake. The colors will mix and then separate again
and again. Blue and Yelow Works really well
Alternate Method:
Color vegetable oil with powdered tempra and add to a water bottle. Color water with food coloring and pour into the bottle. Colors will mix to form secondary color when shaken, then separate again when undisturbed. Tip: Super glue the top onto bottle to prevent opening.

Cover a window with colored cellophane. Invite your children to look out of
the window and see how the color changes their view. Each day cut out different
