Brayden loves to do science experiments. Building, mixing, creating. It's what makes him the happiest. Well the other day
Brayden was home sick but by the afternoon he was feeling well enough to be bored. So out came our science books and this is what he wanted to try out!


He had to improvise as we didn't have the required materials. He used an egg carton, 2 knitting needles, 4 sewing bobbins, 2 straws, silly putty, construction paper and lots of tape (we keep the tape companies in business at our house) .
He put silly putty on the end of the knitting needles to keep the bobbins from falling off. Worked like a charm!

Voila, Brayden's masterpiece. He wasn't well enough to go outside and try out his wind powered sail boat so we used our fan instead. That thing cruised. Can't wait to try it out on a windy day outside!

What a bright, creative kid! I imagine you'll have a summer full of great projects like this - fun!
