SAFETY FIRST!

Make sure to wash your hands before starting the project. And remember to HAVE FUN!

Materials Needed

• Toilet paper or paper towel roll
• Stickers, markers, glitter – anything you want to decorate the roll with!
• Glue
• Clear plastic container
• Scissors
• Translucent beads (colourful AND see-through)
• Cardboard
• Tin foil or reflective paper
• Ruler

Note: Ensure glue is completely dry in each step before moving on to the next.

What to Do

1. First, we’re going to decorate our recycled rolls. Make it look however you want it to look.
2. Trace 2 circles on your clear plastic container and cut them out. You want to make sure one fits right inside your roll and one will stick to the end.
3. Squeeze glue on the edges of one plastic circle and fit it inside the roll about 3 cm from one end.
4. While waiting for the glue to dry, cut 3 pieces of card. They should be about 2.5 cm wide and fit into the roll up to the clear plastic circle (I like to cut mine bigger and longer than they need to be so I can trim them after). Once cut, try to fit the cardboard into the roll – all 3 should fit forming a triangle. Trim if necessary.
5. Lay a piece of tin foil flat on the table. Squeeze glue on one side of the card board and lay flat on the tinfoil. Let dry.
6. Take your translucent beads and place inside roll on top of the plastic circle (on the side of the circle that is closer to the top of the roll). Place just enough beads so that they can still move around and the circle is not completely covered. Glue the second clear plastic circle on top of the beads to keep them inside. Let dry.
7. Cut tin foil around the card board pieces so that one side of each piece is completely covered. Glue pieces of cardboard together into a triangle with the tin foil facing inwards. Let dry.
8. Fit triangle into the tube.
9. Hold the kaleidoscope to the light, look inside and shake up the beads!

SAFETY FIRST!

Make sure to wash your hands before starting the project and clear a space that can get messy. Ensure an adult supervises when pouring hydrogen peroxide. And remember to HAVE FUN!

2. Put container over the tray to catch the mess and have an adult pour the hydrogen peroxide into the cylinder
3. Add two pumps or tablespoon of dish soap into container
4. Add several drops of food colouring
5. Mix your yeast with warm water for at least 30 seconds
6. Pour yeast into cylinder and step back to watch the foamy magic happen!

DO NOT touch the foam as it’s an exothermic reaction and is hot! Do not play with the foam due to hydrogen peroxide.

Easy Slime Recipe With Contact Solution

SAFETY FIRST!

Make sure to wash your hands before starting the project. And remember to HAVE FUN!

MATERIALS NEEDED:

• 1/2 cup Clear PVA School Glue
• 1 tablespoon Contact Solution (must contain boric acid and sodium borate)
• 1/2 cup of Water
• 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
• Food coloring, confetti, glitter, and other fun mix-ins

WHAT TO DO:

STEP 1: To a bowl add 1/2 cup of glue and mix with 1/2 cup of water.

STEP 2: Add coloring and glitter! The more glitter the better. Start with one drop of color. It goes a long way! Mix

STEP 3: Add 1/2 TSP of baking soda {helps firm the slime} and mix.

STEP 4: Add 1 TBL of solution. Again make sure that your solution contains boric acid and sodium borate. These are the slime activators.

STEP 5: Really whip it up to mix and you will feel the slime come together!

STEP 6: Once you have mixed it up well, you want to knead it well! Squirt a couple drops of solution onto your hands and pull the slime out of the bowl. You will notice that it is sticky at first but the more you knead it the less sticky it gets.

STEP 7: Time to play and learn! Slime is science too! You can store your slime in a reusable container. Wash hands and surfaces thoroughly after making and playing with slime.

Is slime a liquid or solid? We call it a Non-newtonian fluid because it’s a little bit of both!
