The other day my son was licking a candy cane. "Why does the red stripe turn pink?" he asked. As I explained that the red dye had thinned out to show the white beneath, I was reminded how everyday questions can lead to all sorts of interesting lessons--and candy experiments.
We've been having lots of fun getting new experiments ready for the holiday season, like Mutant Candy Canes, Bubbling Candy Canes, and Rubber Bandy Canes. Check back over the next few days to see them yourself!
To get in the candy cane spirit, check out these web pages from the National Confectioner's Association:
