Nature is a rich source of many of the simple products that we can test with our children at home. For example, we can make watercolors from vegetables and plants. Boil on low heat different plants for different colors with water twice its quantity until the water is reduced (shredded beetroot for dark red, or onion peels for yellow/orange, or parsley veins for green). This way you will get beautiful watercolors.
