15 Things to do with Kids in the Dark

Three Little Pigs

Lauren came home from school with the cutest project and it got my teacher juices flowing. I have never seen this done with the three little pigs. She did a great job with her house made of straw (yarn), he house made of sticks (spaghetti noodles) and her house made of bricks (torn construction paper). And she even wrote her name. It's perfect!

Salt Ceramic Dough

Elijah (and I) had to use this recipe to make a water cycle chamber. It is an interesting dough. The water cycle chamber is pretty awesome. It was a great project.

Mix together:

one cup table salt

one half cup cornstarch

three quarters of a cup of cold water

Heat this mixture on the stove.

(A double boiler works best, but a saucepan on low to medium heat is satisfactory.)

Stir constantly. In about two or three minutes it becomes so thick that it follows the spoon in the stirring process. It quickly reaches a consistency similar to bread dough. Spoon out the mixture onto foil or waxed paper. When it is cool enough to handle, knead the dough for several minutes, place it in a sealed plastic bag.
