For LEGO Lovers

Are you a LEGO fan?  If you happen to come to Niagara Falls, you will probably enjoy the BrickCity.  It took 5 years and over half a million LEGO bricks to built the exhibit.

You can find many known structures such as the CN Tower (Toronto),  the Taj Mahal (Agra), the Statue of Libery (New York), the Golden Gate Bridge (San Francisco), Pyramids of Giza, Le Gare du Nord (Northern Station, Paris), Parthenon (Athens), Niagara Falls and more.

In addition there are 16 trains running around the tracks all over the exhibition.

How to make your own, non-toxic slime?

You will need: 1.5 cups of water, Borax, non-toxic clear glue, food colouring, tea spoon and two bowls or pots.

Here is the slime. You can dispose of extra liquid.

Have fun playing with your slime.

Store it in a plastic bag and keep it away from sunny places so it will not dry out.

The slime should not stick to your fingers.

The Dragon's Scales

Great story by Sarah Albee, about a dragon who does not want to share, a little girl who saves a day, and a set of scales.

Holly outsmarts the dragon with three tests: would two things weigh more than one thing?  Is it always the case that the bigger thing weighs more than the smaller thing?  Do two things that are the same in size must weigh the same?

Check out the story it is fun to read and kids will enjoy solving the tests.

How about when you have 3L and 5L measuring cups and you need 4 liters of water?
