Go Camping!

Supplies:
Tent
Sleeping bags

Ok so you don’t really have to go camping (although it would be really fun!) Set up a real tent (or a fake one with a white sheet) in your house or backyard! Can you build a little fire or do you have a fire place? Great! Make s’mores and hot dogs to eat! What fun!

Homemade Playdough

Supplies:
1/4 cup salt
1 cup flour
1/4 cup water

Directions:
Have your child mix the flour and salt in a bowl then add water. Knead and squeeze the dough to make a clay consistency. You may need to add more water.

Bubbles

Supplies:
-Fills a gallon milk jug-
11 cups Water
4 cups dish soap (anti-bacterial works best)
1 cup corn syrup

Directions:
Pour into a shallow dish and use items from around the house to blow the bubbles. Ex: Yogurt lids with the centers cut out, soda can plastic holder things, pipe cleaners bent into different shapes, cookie cutters...

Ice Cream In A Bag

Supplies:

1 cup milk
2 tbs. sugar
1/4 cup salt
ice cubes
2 resealable sandwich bags
larger resealable bag
towel
plastic shopping bag, and twist tie.

Directions:

1. Add sugar and milk to the small resealable bag. Taste the
solution. Let out some of the air as you zip to seal. Seal this
bag inside another sandwich bag.
2. Place ice cubes in the bottom of the big bag. Add the small bag
of milk and surround with more ice cubes. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup
of salt over the ice. Let out some of the air as you zip to seal.
3. Wrap a towel around the bag of ice. Place the bundle into a plastic
shopping bag and seal with a twist tie.
4. Shake the bag for about 15 minutes. Remove the small bag and
quickly rinse off the salt with cold water.

Did the milk change? The ice cream you made is ready to enjoy!
