We’ve been enjoying drinking more water, courtesy of my partners at Absopure. We also talk in our house about ways to re-use and recycle (often by making recycled crafts!), and with my daughter off school for Thanksgiving break, I thought I’d put some empty bottles to use with the classic oil-and-water kids ‘science experiment!
Raya has been loving the packable sized water that Absopure offers, because they’re just her size (and can fit easily in a lunchbox)! Â So I told her to save her next couple of bottles so that we could do a little science experiment.
She proceeded to drink three bottles that morning. ;) That in itself felt like a mom win, haha!
We removed the Absopure labels, filled the bottles halfway with water, and I let her add a few drops of food coloring just for fun! Â Then, we topped off the bottles with a few ounces of vegetable oil. Â (Any kind of liquid oils should work for this experiment, we were just going for inexpensive ingredients on-hand.) Â I even let her add a bit of glitter, to see what would happen.
We talked about what would happen if she shook it up. Â She predicted it would all mix together. Â And, at first, of course it did! Â But then, we waited.
Pink water. Â Purple glitter suspended in the oil. Â And they separated. Â I know all you parents out there know all about this little trick, of course! Â This is certainly nothing new. Â But I had a lot of fun watching my daughter learn it for the first time, and it was quality time for the two of us that involved glitter, recycling, and healthy drinking habits – so it was a win all the way around!
Absopure already has a great recycling program for their bottles, which you can learn more about on their website! Â But this was a fun way of re-using the bottles at home.
Have you done this experiment at home with your kids before? Â How did they like it?
Note: As an Absopure blogger, I get occasional free Absopure products in order to share crafts and ideas involving water initiatives and recycling with you, my awesome readers. Â This post was not a paid promotion, and the ideas and opinions I share are all my own.
