Yesterday afternoon - 2:00 - the time of day when I either need to GET UP and GET OUT, or take a nap. I asked Evan if he wanted to find an art project at Michael's, and he gleefully responded "Yes!" We ended up with a make-your-own bouncy ball set (even age-appropriate, which surprised me).
How totally fun! The set ($6.99) came with two ball molds, and multiple color packets of some miscellaneous substance that you pour into the mold. After filling the mold, simply immerse in water for 60 seconds. Afterwards, let it sit for 3 minutes, then pry open the mold to find your new, brightly colored (and sticky) bouncy balls! I rinsed off the balls, and they were just fine - even bouncy!
Evan had a blast doing this - he even said to me, "Mommy, are we science men?" I said, "You mean scientists? Yes!"

We bought this kit for a friend's birthday yesterday, after trying to figure out what she might like. Great suggestion - thanks for blogging about it.
