Well were doing a science experiment on MOLD!!!!
We started by getting some food that would MOLD.

We discussed what food would mold easily.
We chose bread, squash, and bananas.
The kids dipped the food in a cup of water and put them in a jar and sealed it up.

Then we made signs so that no one would touch or move them.
If you know Jay...we have to do this, or we would NEVER actually SEE the mold...He would have already have thrown them away.

good old mold lesson. That's funny you say if you didn't label it, Jay would throw away, sounds familiar. LOL

I love science experiments. My grandmother (from a far away, third world country) used to hide - and label - bread in a cupboard to experiment with growing mold. Have you heard of "What Your Kindergartner Needs to Know"? It has good science experiments on plants (sunlight, water,, soil) and magnets and other stuff.

Love your blog, btw!
