Late Summer Ideas

Do you need a few fun ideas?  Good Will online has a listing for KiWi Co Drawbot kits.  There are six identical kits.  You could invite cousins for an afternoon—likely a good idea.  Invite a cousin who can troubleshoot.  I find kits like these indecipherable.  My favorite kit is Edible Chemistry or Fizz Whiz and Jammin Jelly.  I buy a kit for the tiny containers.  The kids love to mix potions.  (Hint: add sugar.). The chemicals are sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), citric acid, sodium alginate, calcium acetate, and magic crystals or red cabbage powder.  I refill the tiny containers.  Here is a combo of sodium alginate and calcium lactate.  It’s hard to find food grade calcium acetate.  The calcium lactate works equally well.  Here is the type of red cabbage extract I use to refill the little bottles.  My last suggestion is to build catapults.  Set up targets in the basement.  Gather supplies and invite the cousins for an afternoon of fun.
