Can I use other types of milk?

While whole milk works best for this project, you can experiment with different types, though the results may vary.

What if I don't have dish soap?

Other soaps might work, but dish soap is recommended for the best results with milk.

Yes! Adding multiple colors at once will create a more dynamic design.

The drying time can vary, but it usually takes a couple of hours. You'll want to ensure it is completely dry before framing.

This project is generally safe, but adult supervision is encouraged during the process.

It’s best to discard any leftover milk after the project, especially if it’s been mixed with food coloring.

Add food coloring: Drop various food coloring into the milk in different spots.
Add the soap: Dip a cotton swab or popsicle stick into the dish soap and touch it gently to the milk’s surface.
Create your design: Use the cotton swab or popsicle stick to swirl the colors further.
Make the print: Place a sheet of white paper on top of the colored milk and press down to transfer the colors.
Lift and dry: Pull the paper away to see your design and set it aside to dry completely.
