Ocean in a Bottle

 
We have been having so much fun in the LAB lately! Together we all mix crazy potions, create new colors and even planting some new plants! This is definitely going to be a well loved part of the house!

We took some empty test tubes in to the kitchen and filled them with all kind of good things! Corn Syrup, Oil, Salt, Sugar, etc. 
*NOTE**
TARGET DOLLAR SPOT HAS SCIENCE STUFF IN IT, LIKE THE TEST TUBES, Beakers, goggles etc.!!
Now it was time for some serious work! She wanted to do something with the baby oil we had found in the bathroom clean out! Since we have no babies in the house anymore it was all hers! I asked her if she wanted to make a little part of the ocean, so that she could keep it on her desk and she was all for it. I typed out all she would need and and the instructions and let her have at it!

She popped on her goggles (you never know if mixing things together could form something that would fizz a bit high!) and got quickly to work! She was absolutely stunned with the outcome. The boys were excited to make their own as well. 
I absolutely adore fun, educational things that we can all work on together! We laughed, learned and best of all spent time together!

What You Need:

 Water, Clear Bottle, Blue Food Coloring, Baby or Vegetable Oil (I liked the clarity of baby oil better).
WHAT TO DO:
Fill bottle 1/3 of the way with water.
Add in 3-4 drops of food coloring (or whatever coloring you want).
Fill rest of the way with oil.

**OPTIONAL**
Add in Shells, Sand, alphabet beads or miniatures for an eye-spy bottle!
