The kids are home from school and are already saying, “We’re bored!” Here are some science activities that celebrate the season while the kids are home and looking for entertainment.
Borax Christmas Tree Ornaments All you need is a little borax, food coloring, string, a jar and pipe cleaners to make these beautiful snowflakes that won’t melt.
Grow Your Own Newspaper Tree Use a few sheets of recycled newspaper and some heavy duty scissors to make a growing magic Christmas tree.
Do you prefer a real tree or a fake tree for Christmas? Or do you just go with a recycled newspaper tree instead?
To make this incredibly tall and thin unique tree, take eight pages out of the newspaper and tape them end to end. Roll them all up into a tube. Using very strong and sturdy scissors, make several cuts from the top of the tube to about halfway down. Now reach in and start pulling the paper upward. The tree will start to grow and grow and grow.
Grab the tinsel, the lights and a few ornaments and you’ve got yourself one unique Christmas tree for all to admire.
