Super Summer Science - Take 4 - Cloud Dough



Today we made Cloud Dough!  I would change the name to Beach Sand!  So cool and all you need is flour and baby oil!

 

Here is Liv measuring the flour

 What a good little scientist

 Juliana measuring her cup

 Add the oil and then mix it together

 It smells amazing and and it actually feels like beach sand.  You can mold it together like beach sand and make castles or whatever you want to make.  We did make a little bit of a mess but it was worth it!

Super Summer Science - Take 3 - Jelly Balls



This was a fun, easy and cheap experiment.  I'm not sure what these are officially called, but they are tiny little balls that hydrate into these super fun jelly balls.

 Look how tiny they are!

 Juliana was not impressed at this point

 After about 30 minutes - Wow!  Have to say it was kind of a bummer because they wanted to see what would happen so we sat and watched while these tiny balls hydrated themselves.  Would have been much more awesome to soak the night before.

 And after about an hour!  So we put our hands in them. . . .

 We stuck our feet in them. . . . . .

 They were so cool and wet and slimy!

 It was kind of funny because it kept tickling Juliana's feet, which in turn made her violently kick the little jelly balls all over the carpet!

 She preferred touching them with her hands!

 Liv preferred the feet:)

 Then we sorted colors!

All in all a great Super Summer Science day!  I ordered them on amazon for literally about $5 including shipping and they lasted forever.  We also found that you can take them out of water and reuse later!
