Potions and lanterns....

We caught up on our nature challenges last week.  We usually do one every week, but missed one as we had done some many things the week before.

First up, we made a woodland potion.... We used up lots of ingredients from our nature table, with some 'forest water' (basically tap water with green food dye in it) and some glitter.

Here's how it ended up:

All mixed together with a stick and labelled up so that no-one mistakes it for a tasty drink :)

This potion is one that will help defeat the Sith.

Next up we made an autumn lantern.  Having tried lots of activities with leaves and glue, and failed at all of them... we decided to use autumn coloured tissue paper.  This was torn up and stuck with watered down glue to a jar.  We added a handle made of string, and a tea light:

I think we can experiment with making Star Wars lanterns at a later date - maybe with some figures made form black paper to give a cool silhouette effect...
