Walking Water Experiment!

The North Casa children filled two glasses with water and food colouring. They dipped one side of a paper towel into the colourful water and folded the rest of the paper towel over into an empty glass between the other 2 glasses. As an added element, the red water and the blue water combined in the middle glass to make purple water. It was such a sight to see!
