• You may find after a few goes the milk becomes quite muddy looking. Simply empty the milk mixture and start again and again!

 

• To keep your kids attention a little longer, why not add some baking soda and vinegar to the mixture too! Simply sprinkle some baking soda onto the surface of the milk, then with a dropper, teaspoon or simply by pouring, add some vinegar and watch the Magic Rainbow Milk foam and bubble away!

 

• With a drinking straw, let your kids have a blast making bubbles by blowing into the coloured milk.
