and crafts arena. Here are some of the things that we will be tackling this summer:
1. Photo Bookmarks: (since they will be doing more reading this
summer . . . thought this would be a great idea!

2. Make lava lamps:
| Supplies: cooking oil, water, food coloring, an empty water bottle, and alka seltzer antacid tablets |
| Fill bottle 2/3 of the way with oil, then fill the rest with water, leaving an inch free at top |
| Add several drops of food coloring, |
| Take an alka seltzer tab and break it into several pieces and then drop a piece in and watch the magic |
| As soon as the tablet hits the water it will start to fizz and the colored water will erupt! |
| The bubbles will stop once the tablet dissipates but it will start again when you add a tablet |
3. Make tealight lightning bugs:
| Pop an LED battery powered tealight inside an easter egg and decorate. |
4. Make playdough:
1 1/3 C Flour
2 packets unsweetened KoolAid powder
1/4 C Salt
1/2 t cream of tartar
Mix ingredients in a bowl. Have an adult help you boil one cup of water
and 1 1/2 T of oil. Carefully pour the boiling water and oil into the powder.
Did the color and scent magically appear? Stir the mixture with a large spoon
until it's mixed and cool enough to handle. Remove it from the bowl and knead
until completely combined. If too wet and sticky add some flour. Have fun playing
with it and store in ziplock bag or container until you want to play with it again.
