Good work on the science mate!

If you've got some tarnished silver or silver plate, put some alfoil in a bowl, put the silver on top of the alfoil, pour in just boiled water and add 2 tablespoons or more of bicarb soda.

Watch the fizzing that takes the tarnish from the silver to the alfoil.

When it's finished, rinse off the clean silver and show the kids the tarnished alfoil.

Don't put hands in the hot water!

Thanks MJ. Not a lot of silver round here but I'll look. There might be an old bangle or 2.

We got a little of the sunset the other night.
Seems we are back to rain today.
I've let the girls out early but I don't think they'll get much of a run.​

Oh, this sounds like a very interesting project to do with kids, might have to steal it . If you don't mind

These naughty girls started heading home when they spotted me.
Poor Daisy was abandoned by some little chickeneer

They actually all really like their run & nearly everyone chooses to return to it voluntarily after they've had a little explore of the bigger, wider world. The exception would be the Campines. Of course!

I've noticed how comfy the hens are in their run too.

Most of you know I'm on babysitting duties Mondays & Fridays, which is why I am so conspicuously absent from BYC on those days. At 2 & 4 their attention span isn't the greatest but if we have things to do their behaviour stays within fairly acceptable limits. At present I am working my way through my limited storage of simple science experiments. None of us understand the science but they are fun to do.

Yesterdays was *Tornado in a jar* & *teabag rockets.*​

I'm pretty good @ the arty stuff but as they are also in day care they do plenty of that but if any of you have brilliant ideas that have worked with your munchkins please post. We have all of winter to get through yet.​

Baking soda volcanos are always fun.

Yes. I did those very first because they are such terrific fun & kids love doing them

I don't mind in the least! It's not even my idea, I got it from the internet
