Small Business Saturday -- Fun Kid's Idea

By -
You know how I love things to make little brains grow -- almost everything can be turned into a learning opportunity!

Here is a fun thing for the kids -- a Crystal Growing Kit!

It's a Mom and Pop operation -- they even have FREE shipping!

The kit is as you see in the picture -- for $14.99

From their website:

1.Why Crystal Growing Kits?

Whether you are a budding scientist or cool crafter Crystal Growing Kits provide an educational and fun way to explore crystal growing. Crystal Growing Kits.com was developed by a homeschooler and two parents to make science fun!

2.Who can use the crystal growing kit?
Anyone. As long as you can boil water, you can grow your own crystals! (Adult supervision is required when using boiling water)

3.What do I need to supply for my crystal growing kit?
Just boiling water and imagination! Your crystal growing kit contains everything else.

4.Do I have to make a snowflake?
No. Your crystals will grow in any shape you make with your magic crystal wands. Be creative!

5.Can I send my crystals in the mail?
Yes. Once formed and dried your crystals are ready to ship to your friends and family. They make perfect gifts!

6.How can I use my kit as a teaching tool?
Growing crystals at home is an excellent way to teach your children about the scientific method. Ask kids to form a hypothesis before conducting the experiment and compare their observations.

7.How long will it take to receive my Crystal Growing Kit?
Your kit will be shipped via USPS within 24 hours of placing your order. Shipping typically takes between 5 to 7 business days.

8.What is your return policy?
If you are not satisfied with your Crystal Growing Kit you may return it for a refund, minus shipping and handling, within 30 days of the purchase date.

If everyone bought ONE small business, local item this holiday season - it would make a huge difference for us all.

Cookie Exchange Parties are SO MUCH FUN - for a few simple reasons:You get together with your friends You make only ONE kind of cookie and finish your holiday baking, after swapping out You get new recipes You often have snacks or games! That being said, I do one every year - in December, about 2 weeks before Christmas. (You can read about it HERE or see a TV segment I did on it http://youtu.be/-iUR7GlAiQw ). I thought it would be fun to have a collection of 30 fun recipes to try - one a day in November - so you can be prepared for that holiday baking!

I know this sounds strange -- and yummy at the same time, LOL You need to know the family history to "get it". We are part German, part English, part Irish and part Tennessee Hillbilly. Seriously. Did you ever see that black and white movie of Gary Cooper's called Sergeant York? Yes, my family comes from the Dyer/Yorks -- same family. Some of the "family recipes" are too far out there for even me to try... But this is a pot luck favorite. SUPER Easy and SUPER Easy to make healthier. We choose the middle of the road option, LOL You need:  1 package hot dog buns (8 ct) 1 package hot dogs 2 cups chili (or 1 can) 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese "fixins" That's it! You could do gluten free or whole grain wheat buns, turkey or tofu dogs, vegetarian chili, vegan or light cheese, you get the drift. We do white buns, cut them up and place in the 9x13 pan, like you see here: Then you dice up the hot dogs
