Sensory kids

By TatyanaTwins

Easy sensory play for toddlers or preschoolers and great for indoor days. It’s super easy to set up with everything you already have at home. 

🌈 Pastel Marbled Swirls 🌈

Just pour a bit of milk into a tray, add drops of food coloring, and dip a cotton swab in dish soap. Then touch the colors and watch them swirl like magic.

Why it works? The soap breaks the surface tension in the milk, pushing the colors as it moves through the fat.

No prep, minimal mess, and they’ll want to do it again and again.

Part 2 coming soon, we’ll mix the colors and explore a little color theory in the next post.

Sensory color mixing activity for toddlers · Easy milk experiment · Preschool STEM idea

In part two of our milk + food coloring tray play, we took it a step further and explored color theory through mixing and contrast.

We began with swirled marbled colors (see part one pinned!), then fully mixed each section to reveal smooth pastels:
🩷 Pink
💛 Yellow
💧 Aqua
🍑 Peach (pink + yellow)
💜 Lavender (aqua + pink)
🌿 Green (yellow + aqua)

Once mixed, each section became a uniform hue and then we arranged the tray to show complementary color pairs across from each other:

🩷 Pink ↔️ 🌿 Green
💛 Yellow ↔️ 💜 Purple
💧 Aqua ↔️ 🍑 Peach (split harmony)

Low-prep, mesmerizing, and surprisingly educational, a beautiful way to introduce early STEM concepts through play.

Have you tried this easy and fun activity?

This was a successful ocean themed tray set up! I wanted food grade safe pearls that were large enough to use with younger kids and water that has glimmer that’s also safe! 🐚🪼🪸

…but nothing I found felt quite right. So I made my own from ice and magic water! 

Created for a mermaid sensory tray,
this ocean play setup invites open-ended exploration and 30 plus minutes of engaged fun for kids.
