Oh, how wrong I was! From quick repairs to long-term solutions — like helping to keep those slippery tank tops in place for good — glue guns are some of the handiest craft supplies ever invented. But recently, I learned that glue guns aren’t limited to purely practical uses. With just a few everyday supplies, they can also be used to create some amazing at-home art! Inspired to find some artistic ways to use my trusty glue gun, I came across this incredible little DIY project — and I instantly fell in love!
Not only is this the perfect way to dress up bland walls and empty spaces, but it’s also a great craft to do with smaller children.

Have you ever wondered what makes certain things glow under black lights? For this experiment you will need: • a black light• petroleum jelly• a piece of paper First we’ll use the petroleum jelly as a kind of invisible ink. Dip your finger into the jelly, then use your finger to write a message on the piece of paper. Use more jelly if you need to – but this probably isn’t the time to write a long speech! When you’re finished, wipe any remaining jelly off your finger. Have the black light ready, then turn off the room lights and turn on the black light. Can you see the message? First, let’s talk about the light.
You may have heard of ultraviolet light if you know about sunburn. If we can't see ultraviolet light, why does the petroleum jelly glow under the black light? Most of the time when we look at an object, we see light reflected from the surface of the object. Can you find anything else in your home that glows under black light? Glowing Hands What do you see?

I’m sure you’ve seen plenty of wayward western belts at vintage shops and thrift stores.

Make a Bouncing Polymer Ball - Experiment with Polymers. Introduction Balls have been toys practically forever, but the bouncing ball is a more recent innovation. Bouncing balls were originally made of natural rubber, though now bouncing balls can be made of plastics and other polymers or even treated leather. You can use chemistry to make your own bouncing ball. Once you understand the basic technique, you can alter the recipe for the ball to see how the chemical composition affects the bounciness of the ball, as well as other characteristics.
The bouncing ball in this activity is made from a polymer.

Pinterest Pick of the Week! Ah, Monday. And not just any Monday. It's the very first week of the Pinterest Pick of the week. Oh, do I have a gem for you! So not long ago, I was doing what I do best and browsing pinterest. Not really looking for anything in particular, I came across a pin for something called a "Mind Jar. " (Tada! The Mind Jar is literally a glittery fluid filled jar. Sounds pretty awesome, right? And there's no science behind it. I added blue food coloring to my water because, well, I like blue. And here it is all shaken up! Beautiful. It definitely should be... (We use it more than the children, honestly.) I'm giving this Pinterest a 2 thumbs up. Want to make your own?

It was lots of fun for the Lil Divas to watch the ingredients combine and form a reaction that was so visual - blowing up the balloon. The science behind it - Baking soda and the vinegar create an ACID-BASE reaction. ** Due to lots of comments left below I feel the need to add (for clarity) that this does NOT produce helium. Go ahead have fun inflating some balloons! Bern. Mad Science Theme.
Pin It It's President's Day so I thought it was the perfect time to do some penny experimenting (Abraham Lincoln is on the penny, after all!). The Lil Divas LOVE our experiments, so they were instantly intrigued by the idea of performing some experiments with our pennies. This is another fun & easy experiment/observation to do with the kids at home or school. Before you begin: Compare a newer penny to an older one. Ask child why they think the older penny is darker and not as shiny and coppery as the newer penny. The Lil Divas told me the older pennies were dirty (they are actually covered in copper oxide) I then asked them to tell me how we could clean the dirty pennies.
What You Need: old pennies - the older the better! 3 clear cups water dish soap salt vinegar (you could also use lemon juice) What To Do: 1. Fill the 1st w/plain water & add 10 pennies fill the 2nd w/water + dish soap & add 10 pennies fill the 3rd w/1/2 cup vinegar + 2 teaspoons salt & add 20 pennies Results: Pretty cool! Bern.

A symbolic pot? Photo by Bob008. Put A Cork In It. Put A Cork In It You may have spotted our little DIY cork vases back in the big office reveal (and the follow up guest bedroom/playroom post).
And now we’re back to share our two-different-looks tutorial. Yup, you can keep them au naturale… … or cover the cork with fabric for a playful printed look: We first got the idea to create cork vases for pinning up little reminders and paint swatches that we loved from seeing an expensive designer cork lamp a while back. The four squares of cork in the pack provided more than enough material to cover both vases. Before we knew it we had two cork vases. Although we loved the rough natural texture of the cork, we actually decided it would be fun to take things one step further with some printed fabric.
Then we whipped out some iron-on heavy duty hem tape… … which instantly added those polished looking hems that we were going for. And of course the front looked even more seamless: Fun right?

Kitchen Craft: Soap Clouds! {And homemade kiddie tub soaps} You know what question Kate and I get a lot? “How do you girls do it it all??” Our schedules are full, just as many of yours are, and it comes with the constant struggle of balancing Mom-life with work-life. And like most other Mothers out there, when it comes down to it and one has to take priority, the Mom gig wins- no contest.
If something has to fall through the cracks it’s not Mom thing; it’s usually the doing-laundry, cleaning-bathrooms, or showering-before-noon thing. So to answer the question, how do we do it all? We call these “Soap Clouds.” Place a piece of waxed paper, parchment, plastic wrap, or paper towel in your microwave. Start your microwave for a couple of minutes on high power. Ten bonus points for anyone who can reference my children’s ramblings about “the great devourer.” I don’t know how it does it- but it starts growing! It looks like it should be foamy and wet, but it’s not. It’s the weirdest looking thing. Now. Now go have some fun with your own kiddos today!
