Usually we will either go on a field trip or do fun stuff in place of just workbooks, papers, etc. But, shh, don't tell the girls, what they usually do for these "Funday Friday Non-School Days" actual has them learning, while reinforcing things we have learned recently. They are just having so much fun and not thinking about school, that it is a more enjoyable way of learning. :-)

My girls really enjoyed making the Jelly Hearts and Worms. And, they couldn't get over how much sugar is in a soda. This just helped reiterate how sugary juices and soft drinks are not good for you, as they were able to do an experiment and see for themselves the amount of sugar that is included. I personally loved the crystal "rock" candy lollipops, as I grew up enjoying "rock" candy during summers in NH. Our first stop before heading to our summer place was always the nearby 5 & 10 store and my brothers and I would fill our pockets full of loose change we had collected, and fill a brown bag full of candy to tide us over while we were on vacation. I always went with the root beer barrels and "rock" candy, and this YUM! Candy Making Lab Kit, brought a little nostalgia back, as I was sampled the "rock" candy my girls made. :-)
