Crafty Science

Who says that science can't be crafty? We've scoured the web to find examples of the kinds of cool things that happen when the world's of science and crafts collide. The following kid-friendly craft projects are part science, part crafts and a whole lot of fun!

Eco-Friendly home-made laundy detergent
After inquiries from her children as to how laundry detergent is made, Capessa from Shine decided to brew a batch. Check out her blog entry on making detergent, along with some humorous do's and don'ts.

All these science crafts are great for kids and the entire family.
