Ice Cream In a Bag:
Kidz In The Kitchen
Jul 27 2011
Posted by Elizabeth as Adventures in Parenting, Kidz In The Kitchen, Kitchen Chemistry
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!
July is National Ice Cream Month – YUMMY! Not that I needed an excuse to eat ice cream but I am sure this is a good one.
To celebrate, I thought I would try ice cream in a bag, an activity that the kids can really get in on, they can mix and they can shake! I found the recipe here.
Here is what you will need for one serving.

Ice cube painting – an awesome summer activity and I was dyeing to give it a try with my kids (pardon the pun!)  There are lots of variations but here are two that I tried with my kids (ages 3 and under).  Inspiration abounds on the internet, doesn’t it?!
For the simplest and likely the best for  project to do with the toddler in your life you’ll need:

Red Cake: Kidz In The Kitchen

Posted by Elizabeth as Adventures in Parenting, Birthday Party Guide, Kidz In The Kitchen, Kitchen Chemistry, One Parents Perspective
My brothers girlfriend introduced us to the most amazing thing. Â It’s become a birthday party tradition and I’ve shared it a bit, as well.
Tomato Soup Cake.
Yes, you read that right. Â A little chemistry and a little baking (well, they really are the same thing, you know…) all rolled into one delicious batter and creating a fabulous, savoury and moist cake!
It’s perfect for Valentines because… it’s RED! And, it doesn’t have any food colouring, unless you decide to ice it in pink (it was my daughters choice – I had no say).
Check it out!
You take one can of tomato soup and stir in 1 tsp of baking soda.
Then you leave that on the counter and watch it bubble (so. cool.) while you mix the remaining ingredients.
Cream 1/2 c margarine and 1c sugar. Â Add 1 egg and beat well.
Add 1 1/2 c flour, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp cloves.
Mix in the tomato soup mixture.
Beat until well blended.
Pour into the greased cake pan. Â Bake at 350 for about 35 minutes.
Enjoy!
Enter our great giveaways, too!

Borax Slime: Kitchen Chemistry
Nov 24 2010

An age-old favourite. Â Julie brings back a great project!!
What kid doesn’t like messy things? Well, truth be told there is a lot of kids who don’t. But for the kids with no tactile phobias this is a fun activity. Even my daughter liked watching it, though she refused to actually touch it. (NOTE: Do not let anyone eat this stuff!)
Ingredients:
1 bottle school glue
1 tsp borax
1 cup water
and some food colouring if you’d like.
Dissolve the tsp of borax into the water. I used cold water but next time I will use room temp so the borax dissolves better.
Squeeze the whole bottle of glue into a separate bowl. Add colouring (optional) to the glue. Mix well.
Add your borax water to your coloured glue. Now for the fun part….. mix it with your hands!
My son loved this part and we had to squish it quite a bit. Drain off the excess water if necessary.
TA-DA!!! Your very own slime! Fun for all ages. My 3 year old son and my 9 year old nephew both enjoyed it.
Just so you know this was not my invention (I know you’re shocked, right?). I got it from an awesome foodie blog called Our Best Bites athttp://www.ourbestbites.com/2010/08/kids-in-kitchen-slime.html.\
