Grate a couple of medium sized beetroots and soak them in a little water. After a while, you will get a beautiful dark pink-red colour. Add it to a bucketful of water.

Keep the petals of the palas (flame of the forest) flowers ter for a few hours. You will get a very pretty orange colour. The red jaswand (hibiscus) flowers will give a deep red colour.

Dry the petals of zendu (marigold) flowers - in shade. Th u can powder them to get a dry colour powder. You can add th wder to water, to get a wet colour.

Dry the leaves of neem, mint, coriander, spinach, etc in shade get a dry green powder. If you crush or grind the fresh green leaves you get a green paste. If you add the paste to water, you get green water!

Talk to your mother to find out what other things in the kitchen can give you safe natural colours!
