great use for those plastic aniamls you get that grow in the water.

We bought a dino one this weekend for $3. cause little man had to have lol we have had others before.
this time i have learned they can have a little educational value lol. so we measured with ruler before water and each step of way the kids loved it and you can reuse.

Magic rocks

I remember these from when I was a kid so I had to buy these for little bird
and little man they liked them hubby helped with mixing the solution so little people wouldnt get burned we learned a little about water volume and thye loved how they grew so fast at 9 and 5 they want instant results. we didnt throw the left over away we made another jar they loved that good idea hubby.
great fun good price under 8 dollars
