We added another fun setup to the classroom this week and I have to say, this one was the most fun to create.  


Our science liquid mixing experiment. 



I ordered a bunch of lab glassware off ebay and we used resin to fill them to look like liquids.



If you're not familiar with resin, it's the same stuff you'd see in a vase with fake flowers and fake water.  People also use it to make fake drinks for dolls.  It comes clear and we tinted it with food coloring.  You can find it in any craft store.  We got ours at Michaels. 



The resin takes a few days to solidify and now we don't have to worry about all our "liquids" spilling all over the classroom.


I think it looks absolutely darling with the AG science set.




Ava had a blast adding different amounts of food coloring in each color and seeing what shade the resin would turn.  Admittedly, I did too!  So much fun in fact, I ordered a bunch more glass and now we're going to do a big science lab setup.  Can't wait!  Design, craft and create on my friends!

  1. So cute! We've done something similar with glassware from a local science lab {mini 5 and 10 ml}. Yours turned out great, and the colors look perfect with the AG science set! A++

  7. Where did you get the teacher's desk from? I love that it is smaller and doesn't take up a lot of space in your room. Love the science set!

  8. I love this! I am building an AG doll science lab for my daughter's Christmas present. Adding resin is such a fun idea! Strangely, both AG and Target stopped selling their microscopes so I am searching for an alternative source. If anyone has a secret source, please let me know!
