This is so simple, but so magical! It's a great way to talk about basic science concepts while also reviewing colors and maybe even the letter "R" for rainbow!
Place your Skittles on a plate, and be sure that they're touching. Pour water onto the plate so that the Skittles are submerged (they don't need to be completely covered though). Watch as the colors instantly start bleeding away from the Skittles as they disintegrate in the water. Because of the chemical bonds, the colors don't mix with each other for several minutes, which makes the coolest pattern!
