Experiments, crafts and decorations with things you already have at home.
❄️
Paper snowflakes
⏱️ 15 min
🎒 1 to 6
Real snowflakes always have six sides because of how water molecules lock together when they freeze.
⭐
Salt-dough decorations
⏱️ 45 min
🎒 F to 5
Salt dries out the dough and stops it from going mouldy, so your decorations last for years.
🍂
Autumn leaf rubbings
⏱️ 15 min
🎒 F to 3
The raised veins carry water through the leaf. They stick up a little, so the crayon catches them.
🏮
Paper lantern
⏱️ 15 min
🎒 1 to 4
The slits let the paper bulge out, turning a flat sheet into a 3D shape.
