When you make cotton candy, a colored sugar mix melts into a liquid over very high heat, and then gets spun around at a fast speed. This adds air to it and creates its fluffy texture. Making a homemade machine is an interesting experiment for older children to watch, but requires care because of the hot liquids involved. It does teach them about how one substance changes into another with the application of certain scientific principles. Drill holes in a row near the top of your smaller bowl.
