Kitchen Towel Flags


This easy, absorbing exercise is a hands-on method to study in regards to the completely different flags of the world and could be was a vibrant science investigation. The thought is that washable felt tip pens are used to attract a flag on one half of a kitchen towel ( kitchen roll ) sheet. The kitchen towel is then folded in half so the colors can’t be seen till the kitchen towel is positioned in water. When the towel will get moist, the ink dissolves into the water and is absorbed by the kitchen towel’s prime layer, revealing the flag’s colors!

We used the concept behind this exercise to study flags for Euro 2024, however any drawing will work.
