Milky Watercolour Fireworks

Step 1Place your light panel onto the work surface.
It may be useful to place a splash mat under the work surface to catch any excess liquids.
Step 2Place your tray on top of your light panel and plug it into the power point. Turn your light panel on.
Make sure the cord is not a trip hazard.
Step 3Carefully pour a layer of milk into your tray making sure the entire surface is covered. We suggest about 2cm in depth.
Step 4Squeeze small amounts of watercolour onto the surface of the milk using your paint pipettes.
Step 5Dip a cotton tip into dishwashing liquid.
Put the dishwashing liquid into a small bowl first.
Step 6Dip the cotton tip onto the paint spots in the milk and watch the milky fireworks!
