Adult Instructional Grab & Go: Do You Science?

Even adults can have fun with scientific experiments! You will have a choice between galaxy playdough or squishy soap (you may take one of each if you wish). These two colorful activities give you an opportunity to learn about different combinations of ingredients, and also make something useful.

This Grab & Go will be available at the Eaton Branch starting August 16.

Each bag will contain:

a toy
recipes for special pet treats you may want to try
instructions and supplies for making your very own pet toy

This Instructional Grab and Go will focus on crystal jewelry. It’s a scientific experiment that has been around for a while: growing crystals using borax. If you have kids, you may have done this experiment with them at some point.
