Fun Fun Fun

We have been having some fun in home school. After all, that's what it's all about right? (most of the time)

We made homemade glue a couple of weeks ago. It was very simple and very fun.

You take 1 cup of skim milk
Add to the milk 1 TBSP of vinegar
stir it and then slowly heat it (not boil)

Take a coffee filter and place it over a bowl or cup (bowl worked better for me)
The whey and vinegar will drain through the filter leaving the whey.
Take about 1/4 tsp (to start, you may need more) baking soda and stir it into the whey.
The glue will actually be a paste consistency.

voila! natural glue!!
Cheap and fun.

The kids then made a tissue paper collage with the glue we had made. We used spoons to smear it onto the paper.

Thank-you Jennifer for your suggestion! We used starfall.com today for school. Thomas did A, B, C, D, and T. Judah read five of the short stories. It was a fun change for us.

Well I have 1 nursing toddler and 2 wild Indians. Gotta go!
