Water Experiment 1: Glass Fireworks
For this trick, you only need a glass or a can of water, a small glass or a glass of vegetable oil and liquid dyes, preferably in different colors. Add a few drops of dyes to the oil, stir, and then pour this mixture into a glass of water. The lighter oil will float on the water, retaining the dyes for a while. But it will give up its defense very quickly and multicolored droplets will fly through the water like fireworks, drawing entertaining patterns.
Water Experiment 2: Banishing the Pepper
Now take a plate and pour water into it. Sprinkle the surface with black pepper evenly. And try poking your finger at it. Nothing happens? This is because you need to grease your finger with soap. Ready? Now touch the pepper with your soapy finger. The pepper will effectively scatter in different directions. Are you surprised? Your kid will definitely like it. Prepare two bowls of water at once, because he will immediately want to repeat the experiment.
Water Experiment 3: Floating Grapes
To do this experiment, you will at least need grapes and soda. Well, you probably already have a glass of water. Take two glasses at once. In one he pours plain water, and in the second soda. Ask your child to throw several grapes, first into one, and then into another glass and watch what happens to them. In one glass the grapes will float, and in the other they will not.

Water Experiment 4: Walking Water
Take two dyes for this experiment. Best of all, those that mix, create a new color, for example, blue and yellow. Take three jars or glasses of water. Add one dye to two. We leave one with clean water. Dip two paper towels with one edge in colored water, with the other in transparent water. Over time, the dye will transfer over the towel and stain the clear water.
