Blow It Up! Exploring Gas with Balloons, Baking Soda & Vinegar Pin It The Lil Divas LOVED, LOVED, LOVED they also adore balloons (I always have to keep some on hand) so I knew they would get a kick out of this one! Exploring Gas w/Balloons, Baking Soda & Vinegar What You Need: baking soda vinegar plastic bottle balloon funnels (we used 2) What To Do: 1. You only need to fill about 1/3 of the bottle. 2. Fill the balloon approx. 1/2 way. 3. Make sure you don't let the baking soda spill into the bottle prematurely. 4. 5. 6. 7. 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

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. 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 I took this opportunity to introduce my "special" cleaning mix.

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?
