Christmas Soaps - GREAT CRAFT

Even though it's the Thanksgiving week, we are schooling a little each day to keep them fresh! Today, besides a few Thanksgiving themed worksheets, we started our Christmas gifts for friends and family.

If you are familiar with our soap making fun (See Halloween soaps) then you will love our Christmas soap making! We used a clear glycerin this time and some different colors. I also had an idea to add some cupcake sprinkles to the large Christmas Trees to make it look like ornaments. We packaged them up and tied with ribbon. I just have to make labels.



Our Supplies



Getting prepared



After melting the soap, we are adding coloring and scent.



Pouring the mixture into the molds (these are snowmen, so we made them blue)



Waited 30 mins so then can set and then popped them out. (we used ice cube molds)
Cute huh!






Of course there are a few pink trees (per Molly, we MUST have something pink in the batch!)



I love them, whatcha think?

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goodsā€”chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of bakerā€™s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor...

Collage Friday and a Video

We have had a good week here in NY. The snow is melting and the signs of spring are everywhere!  I am ready for the light coat and to put away my Uggs for the season.   Zachary worked on the Women and Children of the Revolutionary War - and some fun Scholastic - Super Science!  He is always working on his IPAD playing Scrabble, Words with Friends, Monopoly, Stack the States and Stack the Countries.
