Perfect for young children! This is a fascinating project, draw on cotton fabric, add the alcohol/vinegar blend and watch the magic happen!

It’s recommended that a caregiver be present for children under the age of 10 to help with the project.

The science behind it: This project involves the concepts of solubility, color mixing and the movement of molecules. Permanent markers contain permanent ink which will not wash away with water thus making them hydrophobic, meaning not soluble in water. However, the molecules of ink are soluble in a solvent such as rubbing alcohol. This solvent carries the different colors of ink with it as it spreads on the cloth.
