Science Project


Bryan has been begging to this science project for days but there are certain things I prefer not to do while the little folks are running around and trying to help. Last night he finally was able to get out everything and make soap. He was supposed to use herbs that grew in his light box but apparently when the cord for the light bulb in the light box keeps being moved to work on the barn, the herbs you plant tend not to grow. So instead we just used some essential oils and he added some colorant. We just did melt and pour glycerin based soap so super easy and he honestly could do it himself with very minimal supervision (assuming small folks are out of range). Personally, I would love to learn to make more complicated soaps one of these days but for now we will stick to the easy stuff.

Wow that looks like a lot of fun, and the best part.

"Go up to the bathroom, take off all your clothes, turn on the water. You have to tell them that or they just wander around the tub for a while. Used soap..." The Soap you made... Maybe that will work.
