Make Your Own Snow!
Add the desired amount of baking soda to a sensory bin or container. Then, slowly mix in shaving cream. This will take about one large box of baking soda and almost a full can of shaving foam. As you slowly mix in the shaving cream you will discover a fantastic mold-able snow. The snow is super soft, silky smooth, and smells so clean and fresh. It is also naturally cold.
Science Activity: Walking Water! Place one or two cups filled with colored water slightly higher than a cup that is empty. Place a strip of paper towel from the top cup, ensuring it touches the bottom, down to the lower cup. Now watch what happens as the paper towel will absorb and siphon the water down into the lower cup. It will take a while, but eventually the entire cup of water will empty into the bottom cup. Try using different colors of water to see what special effects you can make!
Science Activity: Glowing Flowers! Completely immerse a flower in plain tonic water. Swish around to release air bubbles. Keep the flower submerged for 1-2 hours, then place it in a vase filled with regular water. Display under a black light to see it glow! Take the science experiment a step further, and carefully slice open the flower’s stem to see how the liquid travels up the stem to the petals.
