Oil, Water, and Color Experiment
We all know how helpful it is to apply oil before playing with colors, but kids, they are forever in a hurry!
- Apply baby oil on one hand and dampen the other hand with water, of your kid.
- Then apply a bit of color on both hands and leave it for about 5 minutes.
- Now ask your kid to wash off the color from hands. Which hand was easier to color off?
The one on which you applied oil!
As oil and color do not mix well, it forms a thin layer between the color and skin.
Whereas, water mixes well. Hence it becomes more difficult to remove the color from the hand dampened with water.

Water guns are the most loved toy among kids on holi. Making a gun on their own is surely going to make them happier.
