We have made the tornado bottles just using one two liter bottle. Fill most of the way with water. add a drop or two of dishwashing liquid. Add something at the bottom for weight (we usually use 3 or 4 small pebbles because they are available, or you can use those tiny plastic houses from a Monopoly game!) Add food coloring and glitter if you desire. Put the lid on TIGHT! Cover with electrical tape to keep from leaking. Swirl the bottle using a circular motion. The tornado will form in it.

~Volcano Bottles ~ 1 16 oz soda bottle, filled 2/3 with warm water and 5 drops red food coloring. Add 1/4 cup vinegar to the bottle through a funnel, add 1 Tbs. baking soda Voila - a volcanic eruption! Make sure to do this one in your kitchen sink, so the mess isn't so bad to clean up! Make your own butter!

Half fill a mason type jar or baby food jar with whipping cream. Tighten lid and shake like crazy. After several minutes listen to the different sounds as the cream thickens and then liquefies again. When you have a solid lump of butter, pour off whey, add salt to butter, and serve on crackers. Better than the stuff from the store!

Stickers

Cut out magazine pictures. Make sticker glue using 1 tablespoon flavored gelatin mix and 2 tablespoons boiling water. Brush on back of picture and let dry. Later, lick and stick!!

Edible Playdough

2 cups smooth peanut butter

2 cups rolled oats

2 cups powdered milk

2/3 cup honey

optional: rice krispies

Wash hands first! Then let your child mix all the ingredients until thoroughly combined. Let them play with this dough on either a surface covered with wax paper or a cookie sheet. Give them the entire bowl of playdough and watch them create some cool stuff!! And, it is good to eat, too!
