My two little girls aren’t very well this week, so we abandoned BFIAR and I let them lollop and cuddle all week long! This is an activity we did in our science on Monday morning before illness struck. As always, much fun (and mess) was had!
After the utter joy of bouncy ball making, I thought probably slime would be a hit also. I gathered a solution of 1 cup water with a tsp of borax dissolved in it. I placed that in one container in their tray. Another container I filled with half cup of white glue and half cup of water, to which I added food colouring, gave it a good mix and placed it in the tray also. I assembled the mini scientists to the table:
After they had finished I gathered it all into a Ziplock bag and popped it in the fridge for their discovery time later on in the week. I’ll be posting about that tomorrow.
Aaaah bless…. I hope your babies are better soon!
Thank you so much, Liezel!
Lovely project Supermom! Hope they get better soon!!!!
Oh, you make me smile. Thank you I needed that today!
Cool. I may have to have a play with that later!!
Yes, please Daddy!!
I love their faces. So sweet.
Thanks Phyllis!
Can’t do much when children are ill. Hope they get better soon. Polymer is always a hit with us too.
Thanks Hwee. A4 is already much improved and B2 wasn’t hit as hard so I think everyone’s on the up!
Thanks for the reminder about how to make slime – must get that borax out of the cupboard! I hope the little ones are feeling better now.
Thanks Lucinda, they’re on the mend!
Who wouldn’t love science that’s presented like this?
“Lollop” love that!
Thanks Ticia! Even when ill, they still beg for it!
You have such a good variety of kid science activities.
Thank you!
