Root beer!
Instead of an art project today, we did a chemistry experiment. We made root beer, and it does involve chemistry. My sister got us a make-your-own-root beer kit for Christmas and the boys have been so patiently waiting to make it (if by patient you mean asking 10 times a day when we are going to make root beer). Anyway, it was fun and the kit even came with a booklet to help explain the chemical reaction that occurs between the yeast and sugar. It can take days, or even weeks for the root beer to be ready so I made sure the boys understood this before we started. Of course, Jonah still didn't understand and you can see in the picture that he wants his bottle opened NOW.
A bonus is that our house now smells pleasantly of root beer.
I will be drawing a name for the quilt this evening, you still have a few hours to get in!

That sounds fun! I'm going to go and see if I can find a root beer making kit online.
I added a link to the one we used.
Amie, That sounds like so much fun to make your own Root Beer. Kelsey loves Root Beer and she would do projects all day if I let her. I also don't know how you find the time to do all the things you do with your kids. I applaud you.

Thanks for the link!:)
very clever! hope it tastes good.
Can you add my name, I didn't even see the drawing??? Thanks
That sounds like so much fun! I've seen those kits but never thought of trying them out. :) I might have to add it to my list now.
I remember having homemade root beer when I was little, so good.
Thanks for your comment on my blog. I do homeschool. I am doing first grade and pre-k with my two oldest.
I'll be back to check out your other stuff. It's always nice to find some homeschool (and mommy of many) support.
