Static electricity at it’s best!
You’ll need:
An inflated balloon
and your child.
Have your child rub the balloon vigorously against his hair or sweater. Experiment with different objects…where the balloon will stick? The Drapes, Wall, Refrigerator…Older kids can graph the static results: Where did it stick – how long?

MIXED-UP GAME
Turn an ordinary board game into a silly adventure in play.
Have your children gather pieces to a variety of games.
Using original rules of their own, they create, a unique game. Beware of subjecting yourself to these new rules…..
You could soon be “Colonel Mustard”, landing on Boardwalk, paying the fee with your old maid card, while your opponent hollers out “BINGO!”…Unless, it’s Tuesday, and the
moon is full. Some children may need help getting
this game off the ground…
Once they “get it” they’ll have a ball !

Did you know?
Cars can run on used vegetable oil! Drivers who use this method refuel at restaurants instead of gas stations, so their vehicles can smell like fries, burgers, or Mexican or Chinese food on any given day, depending on where they stop!
Did you know?
An orange peel takes 6 months to decompose, while a tin can takes 100 years.
