The Littles' day care was closed on Veteran's Day, which meant they got to spend the day with me!!!
We had lots of fun and used some of the resources that I had spotted earlier in the week from Scholastic's Thanksgiving Free Printables!We had a great time creating these "3-D"ish Turkeys:
I decided to use some left over sparkly leafs - from who knows when - instead of the plain paper plate as recommended. We used all glue on SC's, and it took a long time to dry, so we decided to use staples for GC's and mine!
When GC went down for her nap, KM, SC and I took advantage of that time to do some of the experiments that we had found over at Candy Experiments Blog!

| For some EXTRA foaming and to make the 3 year old smile, we added vinegar to all the solutions once the foaming was finished so that they would burst out of the cup! She was quite pleased with that. Then we moved onto MELTING candies to see which ones melted first and what sorts of reactions happened.

So glad you liked candy experiments. Your idea of putting foil on the pan is so good, and so obvious, I wonder why I haven't been doing that myself this whole time.
I usually melt my candy at a lower temperature--around 250. It takes a little longer, but we don't get charred puddles that way (at least not yet). The chocolate also seems to melt better at a lower temperature.
Thanks for sharing your experiences about candy experiments. I always enjoy seeing what other families are doing!
