We continue to wish everyone an easy recovery from this storm.
Hurricane Sandy is over, but she took her toll on many. Our hearts go out to those whose lives and homes were taken by this storm.
For those looking for more things to do with the kids at home for the next few days. Here are some science experiments and paint activities to try out:
Fill up Ziploc bags with finger paint for a no mess art activity.
Clearly, taping it down to the table just meant rip it off and step on it, but it made for cool art.
Cup painting with stryofoam cups
Great idea for making the Olympic circles or can be used to make sporting balls for sports theme birthday.
Marble Painting
Place paper in metal tin and roll marbles around for fun abstract art.
Messy hands are inevitable with the marble painting.
Pour baking soda into a metal tin and have kids use medicine droppers filled with colored vinegar to see a sizzling chemical reaction.
Lastly, Carbon Dioxide filled Balloon:
Use a funnel to fill half of a balloon with baking soda.
Fill a bottle 1/3 of the way with vinegar.
Carefully place balloon over bottle without letting baking soda into bottle.
Voila, the reaction between the baking soda and the vinegar creates carbon dioxide which inflates the balloon.
I've been following your blog for a few weeks now and am really enjoying it. We have similar aged kids, and your ideas are so great, creative and exciting, educational too. Thank you for sharing this part of your life with us.
