DIY Color-Changing Toy Tutorial

Creating your own color-changing toy can be a fun and creative project. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you make your very own color-changing toy:

• White thermochromic pigment
• Clear nail polish
• Small plastic toy or object
• Paintbrush
• Container for mixing
• Protective gloves

Start by selecting a small plastic toy or object that you want to turn into a color-changing toy. Make sure the surface of the toy is clean and dry before you begin.

In a container, mix the white thermochromic pigment with clear nail polish. The ratio of pigment to nail polish will depend on the intensity of color change you desire. Stir the mixture well until it is smooth and free of lumps.

Put on protective gloves to avoid direct contact with the pigment mixture. Use a paintbrush to apply a thin, even layer of the mixture onto the surface of the toy. Allow it to dry completely before proceeding to the next step.

Once the painted surface is dry, test the color-changing effect by exposing the toy to different temperatures. You should see the color change from white to a different color as the temperature changes.

Your DIY color-changing toy is now ready to be enjoyed! Have fun experimenting with different temperatures and watching the colors change.

• Experiment with different colors of thermochromic pigment to create a variety of color-changing toys.
• Ensure the painted surface is completely dry before testing the color change.
• Store your color-changing toy away from direct sunlight to prolong the color-changing effect.

Creating your own color-changing toy can be a rewarding and entertaining experience. Get creative and have fun with this DIY project!
