Crystal Gardens and Sea Monkeys

Posted by Jenn Greenleaf Nov 8, 2009

Now, I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a sea monkey kit referred to as a scientific art project before . . . nor have I heard of a crystal garden referred to as such either, for that matter. My children have a unique way of looking at things like these, though, and we encourage that type of creative thought.

These are the projects occurring in our little kitchen this morning. My stepdaughter received a sea monkey kit from her grandmother on her last birthday, and my sons received crystal gardens as Christmas gifts from their grandmother last year. So, they all decided today is the day for theses scientific art projects. This is the type of “art” my husband can get into, so he worked with them throughout the process.

Now, they’re all cleaning the yard. I love how they can switch gears like that so quickly. ::smiles::
