Place as many drops of food coloring as you want into the glue pool. We think 10 is a good start!

When you’re ready, place a drop of dish soap onto each drop of food coloring. Use a toothpick to apply the dish soap to control the amount you’re adding. Now watch the magic unfold!

Note: You can also use the toothpick to create a swirl between the different colors.
