Kitchen Science: Borax Snow Flakes

Today we had some friends over to make crystal snowflakes. We made snowflakes out of pipe cleaners and suspended them in a mixture of borox and boiling water. Overnight they will begin to crystalize! I will post pictures of the final product!



I love the rainbow of colors. They got to pick out what color they wanted their snowflake to be.
