Potions

Due to the "Harry Potter Mania" in my household, my children have been creating potions on a regular basis. Here are a few of our favourites so far. Please ensure that a parent does any of the work with boiling water.

Bendable Bones       Creative Crystals       Edible Glass

Invisible Ink       Magic Squishing Hand

Ideas for a "Potion Kit" that you child can mix whatever they like. My children have come up with some great bubbling, slimy mixtures all on their own. I can't even imagine names for them or duplicate them so you are on your own. I was certain to point out that scientists must always keep their areas clean and their mixtures separate in order to be creative.
