Katherine, from Hertfordshire, shows us how to grow our own salt crystals.  Lets take a look…

What did you do?

You will need:-
Boiling water, cup of salt, lolly stick and pipe clear.

Dissolve the salt in the hot water. Make a ball or circle with the pipe cleaner and hang it from the stick and pop over the cup hanging into the water.
Leave for a few days a see your crystals grow!

The longer you leave it the more crystals you get. I used table salt I’ve heard Epsom salts works better.

How are you finding being housebound so far?

It’s very hard some days! But we are getting through it and I’m enjoying this time with them. We have made lots of memories.

Do you have any tips for other parents?

Keep them busy with easy different activities. There are lots out there!

Has this website and community helped you?

It’s great for finding things to do with the kids! X
