Every Onam, we celebrate with vibrant Pookkalams, carefully arranging flowers into beautiful patterns. For Day 2 of our TinkerOnam challenge, we're going to create a Pookkalam in a completely new way—with a magical, instant burst of color that paints itself! This breathtakingly beautiful activity is a perfect way to celebrate the colors of the festival.<hr>What You'll Need (The Setup): A shallow plate or dish Milk (Full-fat/whole milk gives the most vibrant explosion!) Food coloring (festive colors like yellow, orange, green)Liquid dish soapA cotton bud (Q-tip)<hr><ul><li>Step 1: The Canvas! Pour enough milk into the plate to cover the bottom. Let it settle.</li><li>Step 2: The Flowers! Carefully add a few drops of your different food colors onto the milk's surface. Think of them as your Pookkalam flowers!</li><li>Step 3: The Magic Touch! Dip the tip of your cotton bud in dish soap. Now, gently touch the soapy tip to the center of the milk and hold it there. WOW! Enthoru bhangi! (How beautiful!) The colors will instantly explode outwards, swirling and dancing to create a unique, living Pookkalam!</li></ul><hr><ul><li>Film from directly above the plate for the best effect.</li><li>Use your phone's slow-motion feature to capture the stunning explosion.</li><li>Tell a story: show the beautiful, traditional Pookkalam in your home, and then show your new "liquid Pookkalam"!</li><li>Don't forget the hashtag! #TinkerOnam and tag @<a target="_blank" href="http://YoungMinds.app">YoungMinds.app</a> to enter the contest! Parent Tip Our instinct is to create a perfect, symmetrical Pookkalam. This activity is the opposite—it's about beautiful chaos! Give the color droppers to your child and let them place the "flowers" wherever they wish. The result will be their unique masterpiece. <hr>The Science Secret This beautiful Pookkalam works because of surface tension. Milk's surface acts like a stretchy, invisible skin. Milk is mostly water, but it also has tiny droplets of fat and protein. Dish soap is a special molecule designed to break down fat.When you touch the soap to the milk, it instantly weakens the surface tension, causing the milk to pull away, carrying the colors with it. At the same time, the soap molecules race out to chase the fat molecules in the milk. This energetic chase creates all the beautiful, swirling patterns you see!<hr>Follow our <a target="" href="https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VbAwEzw89inqDCz3aG21">WhatsApp Channel </a>for more daily "Wow" activities, new challenges, and endless inspiration for raising the next generation of innovators! </li></ul>
