Milky Fireworks for Victoria Day!

May 18, 2014 by Sue Lively

Today is a super-FUN and EASY to set up activity for kids of all ages!  Also – I guarantee you have these ingredients in your kitchen. The results are similar to fireworks exploding – perfect for all those Canadians celebrating Victoria Day!

Milky Fireworks BlogSupplies to Make Fireworks

All you need is:

  • milk (a couple of cups)
  • a few different colours of food colouring
  • dish detergent
  • a cookie tray

To start, pour some milk into a the cookie tray and add a few drops of food colouring throughout.

Creating Fireworks

Give your child a small bowl of dish detergent and some popsicle sticks.  Show them how to dip the sticks in the soap and then into the milk.

Milky FireworksWatch their eyes light up as the milk “runs” away from the detergent in mini-explosions!

Exploding MilkWe even had little swirly “tornados” happening!
