Pinterest

I am ADDICTED to Pinterest! I love LOVE that site. We have done so many things from there and plans for many more! Heres a few that we did recently...

Homemade glitter...this recipe called for 1/2 cup salt & a little food coloring, mix together and bake for 10 minutes. Next time I want to try the other one with sugar instead of salt.


Keldan all proud of making it :)



The boy's glittering up their pictures :)
 We also made the Kool-Aid play-doh. I don't have to freak out when Lucas decides he needs a snack ;)
Lucas all excited to play with it, doesn't get to play with the store bought because he gets too hungry ;)



We also made Jellyfish. Lucas loved this way more than Keldan.
A plastic bag (I didn't have a clear one so we used a walmart one), water, food coloring, thread, scissors, & bottle (of course we needed two)

Cut the handles off & cut the sides and bottom to make two pieces (one piece per jellyfish)



Make little heads & tie thread around it (not too tight so you can add water), then cut the tentacles at the bottom.

Then add water to the bottle with a drop or two of food coloring. Pour water in the jellyfish's head and stuff him in the bottle. Then watch what happens. 






Lucas kept trying to get him to go to the bottom.

Ocean & Tornado
Ocean: 1/2 water, 1/3 oil, blue food coloring. Then roll it around and make waves

Tornado: water, glitter, and a little clothes detergent

Our tornado didn't turn out the best (can't use homemade glitter ;) ), but I explained to them what happens.


Tornado on the left & ocean on the right

Learning about static electricity
Tear tissue paper into smaller pieces and put in the bottle

Rub it on your head and see what happens...

It stuck to the side

They loved this one ;) maybe because they could rub on each others heads.

Our sensory bottles so far...need more bottles so we can make more ;)
