Wacky Science fun with The Happy Trunk

Disclosure: I was provided a Happy Trunk for review purposes. No Other compensation was received. All thoughts and opinions are still all my own. 

My kiddo and I love crafts! We have shared many of the ones we have made with you and sometimes we have awesome ideas and not all the materials and cant go out and buy them at the moment so it ruins our fun. So when I get The Happy Trunk in the mail Im excited to see that it comes with everything I will need for the activities inside. The Happy Trunk has arts and crafts and even science activities for us to do together. 

This month we got Wacky Science! Check it out:

Inside there are activity cards that have instructions on how to do each of the science experiments from the box plus all the materials necessary for them.  Even including scissors!  

We started off with Slime monsters! This one sounded and looked fun so we jumped right in. They included a full size bottle of glue for which I was grateful since we used it all up in this experiment! 

It was easy to do and fun for my munchkin. Watching the materials mix and seeing how it changed into something new was exciting and a fun science lesson that can open up conversation on states of matter and more.

We ended up making 2 different colored containers and then decorated them to make fun monsters of our own! 

Arent they adorable?! 

We then did the Fizzing lava Lamp and this one we stayed on for a long time! 

Watching the solution bubble up inside with each shake was a blast! We used a little bit of fizz powder at a time to really make it last. 

It looked so pretty and was fun. We then did one more that day. It was the Magnetic Hairstyles!

My kiddo and I were giggling making different hair styles and even making a mustache for our magnetic hair man. Isn't he cute? With this one we got to talk about magnets and what they can pick up and how we were creating the hair styles with the pipe cleaners. We also made a nose and mouth with the scissors. 

Isn't it nice when you can sneak in some fun learning activities and your kiddos have no idea? The Wacky Science kit from The Happy Trunk occupied the both of us for a good afternoon. The best part is that with the materials provided we can stretch that fun for the future. What science fun have you been having with your little ones? Have you checked out the Happy Trunk before? We cant wait for a new kit!

The Happy Trunk: Fun in Food (Review)

My munchkin loves to draw and paint so we are always making something new. You should see our walls, they are covered in his art creations. So when we got a chance to try something new with art involved we were so in! 

When The Happy Trunk came in the mail I was super excited to open it and see what we were making. Munchkin was excited as soon as he saw me pulling out crayons, markers, scissors and paint out of the box.

The Kit we tried out was the Fun in Food kit. The activities were:

• Fruit and veggie Sponge painting
• Design your Own Lunch/Snack Bag
• How things Grow?
• Make your Own Recipe card Ring

The Box comes with everything you will need to do each of these activities including an instruction card with directions all ready for you to use. We decided to start with Fruit and Veggie Sponge painting. It came with these teeny sponges in various shapes and it said on the card that by dropping them in water they would expand. Well wow! We had fun just growing sponges!

My munchkin started making various foods on the sheets provided. It gave us a good opportunity to talk about types of food and Healthy choices.

Here's his plate with food painted on it.

Next we tried the Design your own Lunch/snack Bag. Munchkin put stickers on one side. He then used the Fabric marker provided to put an "A" on the Bag for his Name.

On the other side he wanted to paint on it and I asked him what he wanted to make and he said a house and a tree. I can see it in his picture and I love it because he made it.

Now we just need to wait for it to be dry before we use it. Lastly we worked on the How things grow project. This one is going to turn out to be my favorite because its going to be a project that hopefully lasts a long time.

You start off with a small clear cup you add in the soil and then the Bean seeds and you watch it grow over time. It was fun and a chance to work on patience because we had to wait for the dried soil pellet to expand and grow and munchkin didn't even get mad. He enjoyed watching it expand then break it up and add in the seeds.

When I told him we were putting it in our window to watch it grow he was excited! This little plant is going to open up the possibilities for conversations on plants and growing and the power of the sun. I'm excited to watch it grow and I'm gonna document it for him in pictures once a week so this is going to be fun.

It had one more project you could do and that was to make Recipe Cards and I'm going to save those for a day when were having a picnic or going to the park so that while I'm making snacks to take He can draw out the pictures to the foods I'm making so that he creates a recipe card in pictures. 

We had lots of fun with The Happy Trunk! I loved that I felt like we had more than enough to create the projects. We have paint, crayons and scissors that we can now use for other art projects we do at home. I had fun doing something different with munchkin and I love that there in themes.
