Valentine's Day Activities

                                                                            Writing the Room for Valentine words.

           Another great Pinterest Science experiment. Vinegar, water and food coloring frozen in a heart
           shape.  Put them in a dish of water, baking soda and blue food coloring. Watch the reaction.
           Next time I will add more vinegar than water and more red food coloring.  We will have a better
           reaction and we may also see more of a change of color in the water once the heart melts.
Sharing a valentine's party with KB.  Talk about a reaction! We tried static electricity by rubbing a balloon on hair.

            I LOVE Pinterest!!! Here is a great Science experiment. Making white mud: all you need is water
            and baking soda.  Slowly add the water until you reach a good "mud" consistency.
