Begin by filling your jar or see through container almost all the way to the top with water.

Layer shaving cream on top of the water to the top of the jar or container.

Fill some small cups up with water. If you are using liquid watercolors, you can pour them directly into the small cups instead.

Place a few drops of food coloring into each of the small cups of water and stir. Again, if you are using liquid watercolors, you can skip this step. Alternatively, you can drip the food coloring directly onto the top of the shaving cream without diluting it in water, but it will seep through much faster, and the colors will muddle together quickly, not allowing you to get the whole effect for long.

Using an eye dropper, have your child add drops of food coloring/colored water to the top of the shaving cream cloud.

Watch as the colors seep down through the “clouds” and begin to rain into the jar.
