The Easter Bunny is coming and did you know that she’s friends with Elsa & Anna? So she’s delivering a Disney FROZEN Science Easter Basket full of fun for your kiddos. Â And it’s Left Brain Craft Brain style, filled with Frozen Easter science like crystals, rockets, slime and more! Â There’s even a journal to help them keep track of their experiments. #DisneyEaster #CollectiveBias
Elsa’s Crystal Tiara
First up is a new spin on the old science of crystals. Â Make a crystal tiara for your little Elsa with pipe cleaners and Borax. Â Here’s a closeup of the before pipe cleaners. Â It took about 5 white and 1 blue pipe cleaners. Â Simply twist them together in the desired shape until they are secure.
After making the crown, you’re going to place it in a Borax solution overnight to grow.  For full instructions on growing the crystals after you’ve made your crown, follow the directions from these FROZEN Snowflake Party Favors.  You’ll need a wide mouth mug or vase so that the pipe cleaners don’t touch the side while the crystals are forming.
Safety Note: Â You probably don’t want your kids to be wearing this crystal crown for extended periods of time because heat will make the a little bit of Borax come off. Â And that can irritate skin.
Growing Snow Monsters
This was soooo fun. Â Really fun. Â We turned some white Peep birdies into FROZEN snow monsters with a food coloring marker. Â And then microwaved them to turn them into a big scary snow monster. Â Microwaves vary, but 10 seconds on high was enough time to make it grow but not burn. Â And fresh Peeps grow the biggest, so don’t save this project for a month after Easter. Â Pictures don’t do justice to either the exploding size or the yummy toasted marshmallow taste afterwards :)
Elsa’s Jelly Bean Ice Palace
We love building at Left Brain Craft Brain. Â We’ve built Elsa’s Ice Palace before, but I thought I’d put a little Easter spin on it this time. Â Just pop the jelly beans and toothpicks inside some plastic eggs and throw them in the basket. They’re ready to build anytime, even on the go.
M&M Rockets
What kind of science basket would this be without something that flies? Â Throw some M&M’s in the basket and check out my friend Sarah’s M&M Tube Rockets tutorial over at Frugal Fun for Boys.
Frozen Glitter Slime
Kids love slime, so give them an egg full of this gorgeous, glittery FROZEN slime. Â Click over to the recipe to learn how to make it.
FROZEN Bubble Science
For a little bubble science fun, include a FROZEN bubble wand in the basket. Â Then, click over to How Bubbles Work & 20 Things to Do With Them. Â You’ll find the science behind why bubbles pop and why they’re round. You’ll even find a link to dry ice bubbles.
