I'm notorious for making the kids put away gifts for later. You know, when you put it out of sight, hopefully out of mind, until they reach a point of such boredom, it's time to re-gift it to themselves!

For Christmas, my kids each received a gift from a friend - a Do-It-Yourself Science Kit, suited to each age - and these were one of those things I suggested would be good to hold for later. Bailey's kit experimented with colour and Josh's, with germs. I swear that almost every single day since Christmas they've nagged me to use those kits and my reply has always been: "wait until a rainy PA day [or summer day], you'll be glad I made you wait".
Today started with some pretty heavy rain. Not afraid of little rain, they tore outside to be with friends while there was a lull in the downpour. But what a bunch of disappointed faces when they couldn't play outside anymore by 11 am, because it was coming down too heavily again! That's when we decided today was finally a great day to crack open the first of those coveted kits: "My First Science Kit" by Scientific Explorer.
