Magic Milk Swirl

A plate of milk with dots of food coloring waits by the elf, plus a cotton swab with a dab of soap. Touch it and the colors explode.

Instructions

Pour a thin layer of milk onto a plate with a rim.
Add four drops of different food colors near the middle.
Put a cotton swab and a small dish of dish soap next to the plate.
Sit the elf beside it with a note: "Dip the swab in soap and touch the middle. Ready?"
Watch the colors swirl as the soap spreads across the milk.

Tip: Whole milk swirls best. Do the soap step together so nobody tastes it.
