Easter Science
Making crystals with boraxis super duper EASY!
It only takes a couple simple materials and 1 day togrow your own crystals!
This fun science project is simple so kids can enjoy the wonder of exploring and trying new things.
As the solution cools, the borax particles will settle on the pipe cleaners and form pretty crystals.
If you put two-to-a-jar they crystals will end up joining the two eggs together.
Now cut some pipe cleaners in half and use them to create the accents to decorate your egg.
You may make them wavy, zig zag, straight, or wiggly.
Just loop the small pipe cleaner around the side of the egg to hold in place.
Easter STEM Activities
Now boil 3 cups of water in the microwave or in a saucepan.
Carefully mix in 9 Tablespoons of Borax (found in the laundry detergent aisle) and stir until dissolved.
Pour the HOT mixture into a jar that is large enough to fit the egg pipe cleaner.
The borax and water solution must cover the entire egg craft.
Now wrap end around a craft stick and set on top of the jar to hold in place.
Easter Science Activities
Resist the urge to check on or touch the jar for 24 hours.
Now carefully pull out the beautifully decorated Easter eggs.
Can you see all the pretty borax crystals that have formed!
Allow the gg to dry on top of the jar or on a cardboard box.
THen hang and enjoy this pretty easter craft for kids.
