The kids watched them all day and we were all excited. They put their little hands in to play after watching and waiting and everyone's hands turned BRIGHT RED!!! So do the water beads everyone else uses turn the kid's hands colors? Parents were a bit freaked out when they picked up because of this and when they spilled on the floor it stained the floor. <br /><br />I'm guessing that not all water beads do this - just the ones I got:)Allisonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-661997977170318098.post-85777482026407374302012-05-01T10:33:41.644-04:002012-05-01T10:33:41.644-04:00(...

I like the idea of keeping the marble out for size comparisons. We'll have to try that next time.Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15825740792977733751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-661997977170318098.post-83134709812662404182012-05-01T10:08:26.322-04:002012-05-01T10:08:26.322-04:00Thanks Debs.

(http://fitkidsclub.blogspot.com/2012/03/clubhouse-science-dehydration.html ,if you want to take a peek). Probably because we left them out in the Arizona sunshine for our experiment, and that Sun is HOT! I often share water bead posts, as we use water beads all the time and I like to share how others are using them too. I will add this to my ever growing list.
