MSU College for Kids

Minnesota State University has summer classes for kids - "College for Kids". Jasmine took "Soap Making" and "Polymer Clay Jewelry Making" At first, I was kind of disappointed in the soap making class. I thought they were actually going to learn how soap is made, but then I realized that would entail using caustic substances- so I can see why they didn't actually learn how to make soap. In the class, they used huge slabs of "craft soap"- glycerin and white soap- melted it down, colored it, then put it into molds. Jasmine has about 70 soaps now:) She made a large 6" by 4" slab of soap for her friend Myah. Inside is one of the little toys that Myah left at our house. Myah is going to be disappointed after using all of that soap- only to find one of her old toys inside:) Jasmine's jewelry creations- donut earrings, a charm bracelet with a chocolate bar, apple, panda, and a rose. butterfly necklace, rose necklace and two rings. They had a little jewelry/art show at the end of the class!
