Crystal Making

Jax and Jem received a Crystal making kit for their 9th birthdays.....last year. They weren't all that interested in exploring crystal making last year, so I just placed the box on a shelf for another day. Funny that just 4 days from their next birthdays (10 years old on February 7!!!) they took an interest in it and got it out to work on together.

They set it all up to get started.
They read the directions and mixed and poured the Crystal Making solution.

Jax fascinated with the details found in crystal structures. He and Jem also pulled out other items from the kitchen to observe through the microscope this day, too.
Jackson proud of his measuring, mixing, record taking and labeling of the project.
