4th of July Dipped Strawberries & Rocket Dog

I am having some fun with food this week with my little girls since the 4th of July is on Friday. Monday night we decide to have a 4th of July theme dinner with Dipped strawberries and Rocket Dogs. Of course I found both these great ideas on Pinterest!! I love pinterest!!

For the Rocket dogs first you need to stick the skewers through the hot dog.

Then take any dough (I used biscuits dough) and roll it into a long line.

Then wrapped the dough around the hot dog and bake.

Then once the hot dogs are done baking let them cool and stick a piece of white cheese (that is cut like a triangle) at the tip of the skewer. Then tie some ribbon on the bottom of the skewer and you have your Rocket Dog! For the strawberries just dip them in white melted chocolate and then blue sprinkles. Put them in the fridge to harden the chocolate.

The girls loved this special 4th of July dinner and thought is was so cool!

Summer Fun Experiment (Magic Potion Lab)

Today I wanted to have some science fun with the girls so I created a "Magic Potion Lab" for them and let them mix and play to create any creation they wanted.

First I took some old bottles and filled them half way with vinegar and then colored them with food coloring.

Then I filled some bowls with baking soda and glitter.

For the "Magic Potion Lab" set up I brought out all the materials I prepared, dish soap, two more bottles and funnels. Notice that we are outside because I was not going to do this project inside with the kiddos LOL.

I also had two dish pans near by one filled with water and the other empty so the girls could pour out their creations, rinse and make new ones.

Then I invited them to play and create!!

And the eruptions began!!

They had so much fun with this science activity that they played almost an hour and did not want to stop playing when it was time for lunch!!

And this is the end result and why I did this project outside LOL but they had fun so that is all that matters.
