Do they look like hot dogs? Of course they do. But are they? Well, sort of. They’re hot dogs, but not the kind you eat for lunch. You eat these hot dogs for dessert! I found the recipe for these over on The Seven Year Cottage. I changed it up just a little bit. They used […]
I had all these grand plans to do great things this Easter. Some of them got done but a lot of them are still in my “to do” pile. Crud. At 6am when I was getting ready to pack my kid’s lunch for school I remembered I wanted to pack their lunch a little differently. […]
I’m totally having fun with this whole fun food for dinner Saturday night. I love seeing my kid’s faces when I put their plate on the table. I love hearing “no way. Great job, Mom.” It makes my entire day! And how could I not make this for Halloween?!?! I’m not sure where I saw […]
Have you ever seen this before? Is it the strangest thing ever?!?! It looks like it should be in some Star Wars movie or something. (Or do I just not get out enough???) I saw this over at the local fruit and veggie stand. It’s awesome! (The stand, that it.) I wasn’t sure what it […]
It’s no secret that I love fun food. I love making it. I love serving it to my kids. It makes me smile. So this was right up my alley. And it’s kind of Halloween-y, right? Kind of? This recipe came out of the cookbook Simple 1-2-3 Cooking for Kids. Ingredients: * Jumbo past shells […]
I know today is November 1st and Breast Cancer Awareness month was October but I just had to share this one with you. Plus today is “Wear Pink” day at my school. So, of course I had to bring cookies to help celebrate! And not just any cookies… Mammo-graham cookies. Ha! Get it?! Mammo – […]
I am totally loving all of the great April Fool’s Day things people have posted the past couple of weeks! I love the pranks but mostly I love the fun food. You didn’t miss our Fakin’ and Eggs I hope! (We’re all about fun food at our house!) So we wanted to pack in two […]
We made cookies like this years ago and I remember my kids loved it. It’s like playing with play doh but the end result isn’t cleaning everything up and putting it away. The end result here is eating them! What kid (or adult) wouldn’t be pleased with that outcome? The kids had so much fun […]

Are the crystals extremely fragile? How long do they last?
The crystals aren’t fragile at all. That’s the kind of scary part. What does it do to washing machines???!!! But they are hard and pretty durable!
My guess is they last forever unless they get wet. We hung ours in the window and they look so cool!
I love them too!! These are great instructions…
That is so cool. I have heard about these but you make it look so easy and fun. I gotta try this with my kids!!
So pretty!!! I bet they would make cute Christmas ornaments.
Who would have thought, you can do this. They are pretty….to think they come from Borax
What a great project to do with the kids! I would love for you to share it at my “Best of 2011” link party, along with any other posts you are most proud of from this year, at http://www.petalstopicots.com

What another great use for boric acid powder. You can also use it to clean your house, kill ants, and even yeast infections. Keep it around the house just like vinegar or bleach.
//adorable children btw
they remind me of rock candy, remember doing that? Now I can’t wait to visit my sister, my nieces and nephew are going to love doing this one with me! I’m always looking for something to entertain them while I’m their, art projects like this are alway a big hit! Thanks. Louella
I know this sounds like a dumb question but… what do you do with them once they are made? I think it would be cool to do with my students for Valentine’s Day but I am trying to think what to have them do with the hearts once they are finished. Would you make them into a necklace or something?
Not a dumb question at all. I don’t think I would make necklaces because you don’t want the Borax on your skin like that. We hung ours in the window on suction hooks for awhile. They were pretty cool in the sunlight.
