The grand fairies and I have big plans for summer. We are going to make chalk, play dough, and all sorts of things. I've been busy pinning lots of fun ideas for us to experiment with.
We've tried this one already. But it got a bit out of hand… The Pinterest Recipe was for a few cups of sand, some glitter, cornstarch, and water.
We used 50 lbs of sand, and probably too much water. Plus a bunch of food coloring. It was FUN!
I saved the sand in a tub with a lid so it could be revisited later for more fun, but it got smelly after a few really hot days. Oh well, that is why its called an experiment, you try things, you learn something about it, you try again.
Instead of 'moon sand' we got a sparkling swamp. And girls that sparkled too. Someone dunked their hair in the glitter swamp and I think it might still be washing out.
And I seriously wonder if the silver glitter will ever be completely be gone from the hot tub… maybe I shouldn't have let them go for a "hot pool" swim after this experiment.
It looks like they are having a grand ol’ time! I’m thinking this might be what you told us they did while you were doing some Birdsong prep? 🙂
Yes, Linda, this is what kept them busy while I moved tables around a bucket of sand and a ton of glitter and water kept them happy for hours!
Just think of the glitter as fairy dust. Looks like the girls are having a great time.
