Actually, you can! If you haven&#8217;t yet, make sure to check out Jewel&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/gosciencekids.com\/colour-changing-flowers-science-experiment-kids\/\">colour changing flowers experiment<\/a> that we posted about a few weeks ago&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>But, what if you wanted to dye your flowers more than one colour?? My three year old daughter Bumble Bee and I decided give it a try&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"info-box\">\n<h3 class=\"general\">Suitable for<\/h3>\n<p>Bumble Bee was 3 years and 1 month old when we did this activity. I&#8217;d say it&#8217;s best for <a href=\"https:\/\/gosciencekids.com\/3-4years\/\">3+ year olds<\/a>, as younger kids may not be gentle enough handling the delicate cut stems.<\/p>\n<p>This is a fun nature-based science activity just in itself, but <a href=\"https:\/\/gosciencekids.com\/5-6years\/\">kindergarteners<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/gosciencekids.com\/7-9years\/\">older kids<\/a> might also like to predict where on the flower the colours will appear, which colours will appear first, and which colours will be the most vibrant. They could also experiment by varying the amount of food colouring or where you cut on the stem, and see how this affects the results.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Before we did this experiment, I asked my 5.5 year old daughter Jewel what she thought would happen. She&#8217;s been learning about colour mixing theory in kindergarten recently, and quite confidently hypothesized that putting half a flower&#8217;s stem in red water and the other half in blue water would create a beautiful purple flower.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, in science, hypothesizing and then proving your hypothesis wrong, is <a href=\"https:\/\/gosciencekids.com\/scientific-method-demonstrations-experiments\/\">all part of the scientific process<\/a>. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1044\" src=\"https:\/\/gosciencekids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/red-blue-green-and-yellow-bi-colour-dyed-flowers-science-for-kids.jpg\" alt=\"red, blue, green and yellow bi-colour dyed flowers - science for kids\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gosciencekids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/red-blue-green-and-yellow-bi-colour-dyed-flowers-science-for-kids.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gosciencekids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/red-blue-green-and-yellow-bi-colour-dyed-flowers-science-for-kids-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gosciencekids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/red-blue-green-and-yellow-bi-colour-dyed-flowers-science-for-kids-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gosciencekids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/red-blue-green-and-yellow-bi-colour-dyed-flowers-science-for-kids-250x167.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Ain&#8217;t no purple here&#8230;.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>How to dye bicoloured flowers<\/h2>\n<p class=\"hide-in-excerpt\" style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">contains affiliate links<sup>*<\/sup> to similar products<\/span><\/p>\n<p>We used:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>white gerbera daisies<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>4 champagne flutes<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2md2E50\"><strong>liquid food colouring<\/strong><\/a> (blue, red, green and yellow)<\/li>\n<li><strong>water<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We used white gerbera daisies, as we found a bunch on sale for just $1.66! They have a nice thick stem which makes it easy to cut.

The most important thing is that the containers are deep enough to hold enough of the cut stem to support the flower, and also that the rims of each glass are as close as possible so that the cut stems aren&#8217;t forced too far apart. (Ours weren&#8217;t perfect for this, but they were the best option we had at home at the time.)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>What to do<\/h3>\n<p><strong>1.
