Assemble two eyedroppers, several small dishes filled with water and different food colorings, and a pile of paper towels. Fold the paper towels into squares, or keep folding them into a tight pile, and apply drops of different colors. When the towels are unfolded, get ready for colorful patterns that will surprise and delight your little culinary artists! You can hang them up to dry on a clotheslines strung around the kitchen.
