Borax Crystal Snowflakes

For our Science Sunday - which was actually on Monday the 6th we made Borax Crystal Snowflakes. I found the "recipe" on Martha Stewart's website. I was actually amazed at how fast the crystals formed on the pipe cleaners. Super easy project and the girls loved the finished project.

Mixing up the solution of borax and water.

We decided to make ours pink since we are pinkalicious folks.

Mieka amazed by her beautiful snowflake. :)

This picture doesn't do it justice. They are all twinkly when the lights from the Christmas tree shine on them. Unfortunately the food coloring didn't make them very pink, but they are still pretty. :)
