Rainbow Rain

I love a rainy day, they are SO cozy. They make the air smell so fresh, I love the sound… and there is something about sitting in my jammies, sipping on hot tea, and having a blank canvas in front of me. I just seem to be my most creative on rainy days. Rainy days maybe wonderful in New York, but they are even better in the Cotton Candy Kingdom, where my pet unicorn is from. The clouds are made of cotton candy (obviously) and the rain is made of rainbow colored soda. It is seriously amazing… if you ever get the chance to visit, it will blow your mind. So, after some playing around with a few things laying around the house, my unicorn and I have figured out how to recreate our own Rainbow Rain here in NYC. You can enjoy it too, just have a look below.

Let’s get started!

1.) Fill your glass with water about 3 quarters of the way full.

2.) To make your cloud, shake the shaving cream well and spray a layer on top of the water until it’s covered.

3.) Drop a few drops of each color of food coloring on top of your shaving cream cloud.

4.) Watch the food coloring make it’s way slowly down out of your cloud into the water!

5.) Add more food coloring as desired to create more Rainbow Rain!
