This activity is fun and mostly free for both your family and yourself.
Here is a photo of my daughter’s new outdoor science (or potions, as she calls it) lab. It doesn’t look new, does it? That’s because it’s made out of a sawed off piece of my desk. She loves it, though, and we have been playing with it for weeks now that I’ve rearranged my office and given her lots to experiment with.
Not only does she have all of my old expired herbs (you can tell when your herbs need replenishing by smelling them, by the way; if there’s no scent or a weak scent, you generally need new herbs!), she also has plenty of bottles, bowls, spoons, marbles, and even two-liter bottles. She also has lots of things from our yard, like twigs, rocks and acorns.
