What you'll need

  • Kitchen paper
  • Colorful felt-tip pens
  • 2 glasses of water

How it works

  1. Take a piece of kitchen paper and cut it so that it fits perfectly between your two glasses of water.

  2. Now grab your colored pens and turn the ends of the kitchen paper into a small rainbow. The last 2 cm on both sides should be enough.

  3. Place the painted ends into the glasses of water. The kitchen paper should lie like a small bridge between the two glasses.

  4. Now comes the exciting part! Watch as the water slowly climbs up the kitchen paper and carries the colors with it. They meet in the middle and tada! A magical rainbow has grown!
