a creepy and awesome "science experiment"... too bad I don't have a subwoofer (video of dancing ooblek on link)
Make your own bouncy balls from scratch. This is a ridiculously cool science experiment.
Use these balloons as ninjas to fight against...I could see this being hilarious!
I wish there was more snow... I can't believe I'm saying that. I just wish I could take my kids sledding! Perhaps we'll go up to the mountains and look for more.

How to make this teepee, very cheap and about 30 minutes to make. King or queen size sheet (from thrift store), 6' wooden or bamboo garden stakes, some rope, safety pins, and glue gun.
Ivory soap - Ivory soap floats in water. The reason for that is that unlike other soap, it has a a bunch of air whipped into it. This is important because when you microwave it, all those tiny air bubbles expand and make your soap look like this.

These are continents in a box. I love the idea that children can explore the continent (looking through pictures of places, animals, people, etc).

Winter bubbles! As long as the temperature is below 0C or 32F, the bubbles will freeze and shatter when they fall to the ground! Can't wait to try this!

I think this is one of the best toddler activity idea websites I've ever found. The ideas are simple, educational and allow for creative exploration of the child's own world.

Shannon Wasden HAHA oh my gosh this is the same company that did that HILARIOUS skeletal system video we watched as a joke in my Biological anthropology class!
Megan Swinford lol really? I haven't even watched it yet. I just thought it might be easier to understand than the more adult types of videos on the digestive system, etc. that I've had my kids watch in the past.
Shannon Wasden yeah, you should watch the bone one, it's super funny: http://shannonshoes.blogspo...
