3 Fun Projects To Do With The Kids

by Kimberlee

Katelyn from Domestic Charm made this

great Glow-in-the-Dark Slime.

Click here for ingredients and directions!

 

 

Maniac World has a video demonstrating how to make glow-in-the dark Mtn. Dew.

Update: According to a reader, this is a hoax. Sorry!

(Note: I do not recommend anything else on this site.)


Amy from Living Locurto came up with this
great idea for Food Painting.

Mix milk and food coloring and use it to paint marshmallows and popcorn. How fun is that for little kids?

I wish I had thought of this when my kids were younger! :)

These activities look really fun. I am going to try the slime with some of my very active 3rd and 4th graders.

I tried the Mountain Dew ‘trick’ a few times and get it to do anything. Anyone else have any luck?

Tried it twice. Thought the baking soda wasn’t fresh enough the first time, but even with brand new ingredients it didn’t work for us either…
Wished I’d have seen Michelle’s post…

The Mountain Dew glow-in-the-dark craft is a hoax :(

Apparently Tonic water is supposed to glow when used with black light.

That’s what I’ve heard as well. Actually I’ve seen them use tonic water on a cupcake show, as well as a learning show. It did not glow in the plain old dark, it had to be a black light, but it did indeed glow.
