Salt Crystal Snowflake
Create your own sparkly snowflake!
Materials:
- Hot
water (preferably boiled beforehand)
- A cup
or mug
- Salt
(we used table salt)
- Thick
black paper (It should be heavy paper or cardstock. We found that construction paper will not work.)
- Paintbrush
Instructions:
- Boil
water and pour it into a cup that can withstand hot water.
- Add a
couple of teaspoons of salt and stir with the paintbrush until it
dissloves.
- Continue
to add salt a teaspoon at a time until it no longer dissolves and there
are salt crystals at the bottom of the cup even after stirring for a
while.
- Paint
your snowflake.
Tip: Every time you
go to dip your brush in the salt water be sure you to stir the solution so that
your salt crystals don't all sink to the bottom of the cup.
Leave your art to dry overnight
and in the morning you'll have a beautiful sparkly snowflake!
