Sensory Bin Idea:  

Shaving cream

So here is where we started.  The girls were very eager to give this a try.

I put them in their play dresses because I knew it was going to be a messy one.

It took Rarity a little bit to get into it.  She was just so happy to have a tiny bit on her hands. 

Fluttershy on the other hand was totally into this.  As soon as 

I saw her heading this direction we (I) decide that we needed to switch locations. 

Who says bathtubs are only for washing.  

This was the perfect location to just let them have at it.

It ended up on their arms, cloths, hair, and the tile on the wall.  

It was a super mess, yet clean play.  Afterward I just pulled their cloths 

off and sprayed them off.

And then oddly the balloon decided to static cling to the ceiling.

Craft-   Real Crystal Snowflake Make an amazing snowflake from real crystal (borax). This is a beautiful project (and also demonstrates some basic principles of chemistry).

Supplies needed:

Wide mouthed jar 3 white pipe cleaners String Scissors Pencil Boiling water (have an adult do this part) Spoon Borax (called 20 Mule Team Borax Laundry Booster - the product called Boraxo will NOT work) Optional: blue food coloring Make a giant snowflake frame from 3 white pipe cleaners and string. Twist the 3 pipe cleaners together in the center to make a 6-sided, spiky figure. Make sure this figure fits inside the wide-mouthed jar. Tie the string around the pipe cleaners to look like a snowflake shape. Trim the excess string. Tie a few inches of string to one of the pipe cleaners. Tie the other end of the string to a pencil, so that the snowflake will hang from the pencil and dangle inside the jar. Take the snowflake out of the jar. Pour boiling water into the jar (have an adult do this part). Add the 20 Mule Team Borax Laundry Booster to the hot water in the jar. Keep adding the Borax until you have a supersaturated solution (you will see undissolved Borax at the bottom of the jar). You'll have to add about 3 tablespoonfuls of the 20 Mule Team Borax Laundry Booster to each cup of hot water in the jar. Optional: Add a few drops of blue food coloring for a bluish snowflake. Hang the snowflake in the jar and wait at least overnight. In the morning, your snowflake will be covered with beautiful crystals. As the supersaturated solution cools, the borax comes out of solution (less of the borax can dissolve in cool water) and forms crystals on the pipe cleaners and string. You can do the same type of project using supersaturated sugar-water and a string, making edible rock candy (but the crystals take longer to form).
