Pinterest Anyone?

I have recently become addicted to a website called Pinterest.  It is a great tool to help us keep busy this summer.  Here is a sample of some things we have done from ideas found on Pinterest. 

Glue random pictures on a piece of paper and draw funny add-ons and captions.  You cant see it here, but the paper is actually a huge roll of drawing paper attached under my kitchen table with a spring rod. (kind of like at the doctor's office.  Once we are done I can just rip off the old paper and replace with new. ) Yep, found that idea on you know where!  :)

Bath time glow sticks.  This is a shot with the lights on.  Notice I X'ed out Marco's man-parts.  (at his request) And below are some  with the lights off.  Kind of hard to see who is in the picture, but they glow sticks created enough light to see and the kids had a blast with them. After the bath was done, I dried off the glow sticks and put them inside a blown up balloon.  2 for the price of 1 activity.  Now that's my kind of fun!

This project was cool- literally and figuratively.  We filled large balloons with water and food coloring and put them in the freezer over night.  Once frozen, we took them outside and cut off the balloon.  And what do you get??  A frozen marble, gem-like orb.  The boys pushed them around while they melted and then destroyed them by crashing them to the ground.  Potentially dangerous, but fun none the less.

Marco's frosted gem. Other Pinterest projects we have completed but did not get pictures of include1) homemade ice cream sandwiches made with graham crackers, pudding and cool whip 2) Sand paper/crayon t-shirt transfer  (this one didn't turn out so well)  3) Cornstarch sidewalk chalk/goop  4) multiple paper airplanes  And plenty more are in the works!
