Love Potion No.9

Thanks to the lovely world of Pinterest and another snow day, I was inspired to do a little science experiment with the kids today. Being Valentine's Day and all we decided to make "love potions." Plus, it's super simple. Baking soda, food coloring and vinegar. All things we had in the house.

As you can see, and easy experiment with high impact and excitement value for kids.  Absolutely love seeing the excitement on their faces as it bubbled over.

We ran out of vinegar but they didn't want to be done so they started mixing their jars together to see what would happen.

And then Brennan did this for at least another half an hour.

I tried explaining what a love potion was but Brennan wasn't listening and I think it just confused Kaelyn. Luckily they're both so lovable they'll never need a potion.

I don't know if they really learned anything about science but it was a fun diversion and hopefully it at least got them thinking and wondering about the world around them and asking questions.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
