How do I know what my child is learning(Assessment)
Experiment with different material and discover the different ways they can produce a variety of effects?

If you have no big plastic bottle,you can use a small one. If there is no baby oil you can just use the water. If there is no food coloring blue paint can be used.
Helpful Hints: (Pitfalls & Solutions)
The water could leak from the lid, adding strong tape to the top of the lid will secure it more.
