This is a very late post, but my pics are too cute not to share...
Evie was invited to my friend's daughter's 6 year old "mad science" birthday party. I wasn't sure whether Evie would enjoy the party since she tends to be shy with new kids and my attempts at explaining science in preparation to the party was pretty sad.
I'm happy to report that Evie loved the party. The "mad scientist" who was the teacher looked like a college kid who had no idea how to manage 12 screaming kids but I don't think any of them even paid attention when his tricks went awry. He showed them lots of things including how electricity works, making different color fire, how to make fireworks, and how to make cotton candy. Evie didn't pick up on the SCIENCE behind any of these experiments, but she sure had fun watching or doing the experiments themselves.
I wanted to capitalize on her interest in Science after the party so I bought a "my first science experiment" kit that we've been playing with in the evening. This is Evie making a test tube crystal ball, which is otherwise known as mixing water, oil and a color tablet together to make sparkly water.

| The start of the party - some skepticism and lots of concentration on what the Mad Scientist was saying. |

| I love all of their reaction to fireworks! |
 |
| Making "slime". |

| Trying the cotton candy. She didn't like it. |
