Shared Fun - Handicrafts and Experiments

I love it when other homeschoolers share their handicrafts and experiments on their blogs. Here are a couple that we came across and had fun with recently...

Sprite over at Sprite's Craft Corner shared a fun handicraft on her blog last year... I just came across it last week and Tyler is loving it. He's been weaving little rugs. Sprite has step by step directions there to make these. They are the perfect size to use with toys and dollhouses. Of course his first one HAD to include red. Everything in his life has to be red.


Next he made one with pink for his sister...


Emily is really enjoying her new rug... and her brother's too!! :o)


Just tonight I came across this cool Tie-Dyed Milk experiment at In the Sparrow's Nest. Her daughter had done this one before so she made us a fun video to walk us through it. Check it out here. They also have some white Daisies in food coloring at their house that I can't wait to see turn colors!! Anyways, Tyler wanted to try this experiment right away and here is our result...


Evidently the fat in the milk reacts against the dish soap. The minute you touch the toothpick with soap on it to the milk the colors just explode.

Fun times! Now I'm off to see what else I can find out there in Blogland!
