I bought these wonderful tubes to show a couple classes some science "tricks" so they would join my summer camp which focuses on science and math. I had SEVERAL students take brouchures! :)

Water Gel: My hubby got to play magician and surprise my son when he dumped water into the powder and went to dump it on his head...but nothing came out! It was a new fun toy for us to poke at instead! Jelly Marbles: These tiny clear balls magically grow into bouncy and fun-filled jelly marbles! Water Spikes: I liked watching these little plastic-feeling spikes grow larger and not quite so poky! Water Cubes: This was my favorite one to observe over time because they changed differently than the others. Plus, I lost them once or twice in the water and thought hubby was playing a joke on me. Water orbs: I will be honest. I will probably not make as many at on time next time. My son has a cup in my car, a bowl in the kitchen that has been EVERYWHERE! He loved sticking his hand in the bowl once the teeny balls grew and squishing them. Okay, I did too!
