Kids are going to be super impressed with this fun, hands-onMilk Plasticproject!
With this very simple science experimentfor kids, you might turnmilk into plastic!
In the early 1900s milk was used to make beads for jewlery and buttons.
I love doing science experiments that impress kids!
Not only are they eager to learn, but it stretches their little minds.
Todayseasy science experimentis going to really impress your kids!
They are going to changemilk into plastic.
You will see the milk separate and clumps form.
Turn milk into plastic
Now pour into a strainer to get rid of the extra liquid.
Science experiments with milk and vinegar
This is what you are left with.
Now wrap them in a paper towel and sqeeze out any extra water.
You have two choices of WHEN to color your milk plastic.
Plastic Milk
Spoon out your clumps from the strainer and pat dry with a paper towel.
The more liquid you pat out the stronger plastic you will make.

The mixture can be formed into a ball and pressed flat.
I suggest using a cookie small cookie cutter shape your mixture.
Press down until it is smooth.

This time we decided to make pretty beads for a fun necklace craft.
milk experiment
Use toothpicks to make holes to make beads for necklaces.
Easy Science experiment
Place on paper towels to dry for at least 2 day.
Science experiments for Preschoolers
String beads onto yarn to make a pretty necklace craft.
You could even test different ratios of vinegar to milk.
How about trying a different acid such as lemon juice; would that turn the milk into plastic?
Vinegar and milk chemical reaction
Wondering about the science?
No, this milk and vinegar experiment does not produce real plastic.
When the plastic is dry, it is hard, shiny, and durable.
