Zander has been bugging me for weeks to help him make the sandstone that came in a rock set he bought at the Science Museum of Minnesota in March. If I had taken the time to read the directions to see that it only takes about five minutes, I probably would have helped him sooner. Oops. Instead, I took a much needed/wanted break from hauling rocks to help this budding scientist create sandstone in our kitchen.
According to the directions all we needed was a little sand packet, sugar and water. Mix it together, heat it in the microwave and we were supposed to have sandstone. We didn't. But, Zander was a trooper and thanked me for trying, at least. Gotta love that kid.
