So all you do is squirt hair gel in a ziplock bag and drop in some red food coloring. Squish to mix so the color is spread evenly. Add in your seeds which can be black buttons, fushion beads, or even dry black beans.

Now seal the ziplock bag without any air in the bag. Use the green painters tape to extra seal the bag at the seams, which also makes a cute rind part of your watermelon! Cute, right?!

You can do this activity at a kitchen table, classroom desk, or on a window to let the light shine through your squish bag. Use the green painers tape to not only secure the ziplock bag, but attach it to the surface you will be using so the bag doesn’t move around on your young child.
