DIY Silly Putty


Need something to do that's different while your kids are home? How about a kind of science experiment? Homemade Silly Putty! I say a science experiment because I had to make this with my son for something special in his STEM class and it takes a few times before you actually get silly putty lol

What you need:

1t Borax
4oz Bottle of (washable) Classic Glitter Glue
Water, equivalent to the amount of glue you are using

Instructions:

Mix together a 1 to 1 mixture of glue and water. Stir the glue and water together until completely mixed. Dissolve 1t of borax into 4oz of warm water. Pour borax mixture into the water and glue mixture and stir. Keep stirring, after a few seconds the mixture should “gel” up.

You now have silly putty! If you find it becoming stiff, put it in the microwave and heat it up for 5-15 seconds. Store in a zip-loc bag.

Apple Ginger Fizz for Fall

  The kids deserve a special drink for the fall besides apple cider. This is a great fall mocktail with a beautiful flavor combination. Not just for the kiddos. This makes 1 drink What  you'll need: 3 oz still apple cider 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice 6 mint leaves 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar Pinch powdered cinnamon 3 oz ginger ale Create: Place apple cider, lime juice, cinnamon, apple cider vinegar and a few ice cubes into a cocktail shaker. If you don't have a shaker, anything with a tight lid will work, such as a mason jar or drink bottle. Clap the mint together in your hands to release the scent, and add to the shaker. Shake for about 20-30 seconds until ingredients are combined. Pour into an ice filled glass and top with ginger ale. Stir gently, garnish with mint, dried citrus or a cinnamon stick, and serve.
