31 Days of Simple Sensory–Week 4

Ivory Soap Experiment
We finally did the Ivory Soap experiment, and it was every bit as fun as promised.  Although, I have to admit that only 1 of my boys (Royal) really enjoyed it.  He played with the soapy, flaky mixture for an hour, and most of that time by himself.
The initial experiment was a lot of fun!  All of the boys loved watched the soap expand and expand in the microwave!

We dug our hands in…

We looked through the microscope…

And then we added water.

It was a great big mess.  A huge mess.  But it was worth it!

Water tub.
Water, cups, tub…that’s it!  Baloo stuck an orange marker in for a moment causing the orange hue.

This activity was quite the hit for a long time.  I just put down a towel in our living room and let them at it!  They scooped, dumped, balanced, and just played!
