In our house, when you lose a baby tooth, the tiny french mouse (or tooth fairy) comes and a little crystal is left behind. Now that the collection is growing quite quickly, we decided to ”build”our own crystals! (thanks to my friend and the website Scope for the idea.)
Chez nous, quand la petite souris passe, elle laisse derrière elle une petite pierre semi-precieuse. Maintenant que la collection est déjà bien grande, nous avons décidé de “fabriquer” nos propres cristaux! (Merci à mon amie et au site web Scope pour la bonne idée.)
You will need: Hot Water, Borax, Pipe Cleaners, 1 plastic container, 1 wooden spoon and some string. (and 24h of patience.)
Vous avez besoin de: Borax, Eau chaude, 1 pot en plastique, 1 cuillère en bois et de la ficelle.(et 24h de patience.)
-Une tasse d’eau pour 3 cuillères à soupe de Borax-
-One cup of water for 3 large spoons of Borax-
Laisser suspendre les formes de chenille dans la solution et attendre le lendemain.
Let the pipe cleaner hang in the liquid and wait for tomorrow.
Tadaam!
What a clever idea! My youngest one loves crystals too! Just too bad that it is so difficult to buy Borax in France. You can’t just get at the hardware store like in the US, you need to have business ID and tell what you are planning to use it for. Crazy isn’t it?
oh I didn’t know it was that difficult to buy Borax in France.
What a beautiful and creative idea! Can I be your child too? 😉
