If you recall, earlier this week we made snow 2 different ways (baking soda and shaving cream vs. cornstarch and conditioner). Because I’m a fan of revisiting activities, we saved it and went out on a limb to attempt to make “fizzy snow” with it by adding vinegar. We knew baking soda and vinegar would react, but had no idea how this would work out because there was corn…
Months ago I saw this activity on @keep.kids.busy who was kind enough to share this and other activity details with me through DM. Just recently, @iracreativeengine posted her version and I was reminded that I should bump it up on the seemingly endless list of activities that I want to try with B. I am so glad I did, but it comes with a warning. 🚨 This 💯 fun educational…
I have tried multiple ways to make snow over the last few months, and none of them have impressed me. So, I decided to try 2 more ways…at the same time. Today we used baking soda and shaving cream for recipe #1 and cornstarch 🌽 and white conditioner for recipe #2 (using tinted conditioner may change the color of your snow). I asked a lot of guiding questions and B…
I absolutely love messy play and food, and this activity involved both. It was so simple and fun, that I would absolutely do it again. MATERIALS:• Milano cookies (or any oval shaped cracker)• Nutella (peanut butter would work too)• Pretzels (we chose chocolate covered)• Edible eyes• Any round candy for the nose (we chose M&Ms) I set out the materials in small containers, made one example in front…
While so many things can be bought at the store, it’s such a cool experience 😎 to make it yourself at home. 🏡 Slime is something we started experimenting with a few months ago, and last night Bianca requested we make a pink batch, so we did. Even my mom was fascinated, because you know, at the core of it all, it’s science. 🧪 MATERIALS:• 5 oz clear glue• 1/4…
In case you were as skeptical as @moorethanhappy and I that this would actually work, here’s proof. 😋 Just drop a dab of food coloring in an ice 🧊 tray overnight and when you wake up in the morning ☀️, you’ll have a water color 🎨 sensory experience ready to go. We used the letter C worksheet 📝 provided by @experiencecurriculum , but really you could have used anything, including blank paper, white coffee…
