| You can make Goldenrod paper by mixing the spice Turmeric and Rubbing Alcohol and then dipping coffee filters into it. It worked really well and did not take much turmeric. Ricky www.rickypope.com

| | do you really need the kits if you don't do chadders? We don't have enough space or time, so we usually just show Chadders in the pre-school rooms. Kim

| | Kim, You only use the cinema science kit in the elementary Chadder station, so if you don't run that station, you'll be fine without it.

Hi, How many kits do we need? Thanks! I think that you only need one kit per 100 kids!

| | We never got the Cinema Science kit (our VBS starts Monday the 21st) but I was able to find most items as follows. Thanks to all who posted tips it helped me get started in knowing who to call and where to look: Balloon & Hex nut: Balloons at Party City, hex nuts at Ace hardware Ivisible Ink Pen & Black Light: I found "Invisible UV pens" that come with a small black light at Office Max...they were in the office security area next to the "counterfeit pens". Expando Powder: I went to Green Thumb garden center and bought a jar of "Soil Moist" granules...came home and mixed 1 Tablespoon with 1/2 cup of water and it worked....practice a little...it doesn't stay in the cup upside down forever! Reactor Paper: TIP: When you call office supply stores they will not have any idea that some goldenrod papers will react to amonia which is why I just went there with a bottle of Windex and explained why I was looking for a "special" goldenrod paper. I went to the Staples (office supply store) copy center and took a bottle of Windex with me. I met the NICEST guy who brought out samples of all of his "gold", "goldenrod" paper and let me try them with 'Windex fingers' and we found one that works beautifully. I believe it is "Astrobright Galaxy Gold" paper...I tried to buy it but he insisted on donating a stack "for the kids"....I will be a customer for life! Test tube balloons: We won't need those as we are going to a Science Center on the last day for a field trip but I saw on other postings that a Diaper Genie refill bag is supposed to work... Hope this helps and good luck!

| | I know your VBS has ended, but to help anyone else who is looking....we cut open a few diapers to use the gel to thicken the water for Day 3. However, it is very powdery (you don't want to breathe it in), so after you cut open the diaper, invert it, put it in a big plastic bag and shake. The powder will fall out into the bag. Also, Group suggested using the bags from Diaper Genie to use in place of the Test-Tube-a-loon. I don't know if it'll work, but it's worth a try. |
