Ive also included an explanation of how milk works as an invisible ink. Dip a paintbrush, toothpick or stick into milk and write your message on paper. Youll be able to see the damp message, but it will disappear once the paper dries.Reveal the invisible message by holding the paper over a lit light bulb or other heat source.
