Fun and Fabulous Craft Projects

Be careful, kids might have way too much fun with these projects and totally forget about TV, computers or video games.

Invisible Ink

2 Tbsp pure lemon juice
cotton swab

Pour lemon juice into a small glass or plastic dish. Soak one end of the cotton swab in the lemon juice. Use the lemon juice soaked cotton swab to draw a picture or a secret message on a piece of paper. When you're ready to see your finished drawing, hold the sheet of paper near a light bulb or over a toaster. The heat source will slowly turn the lemon juice dark brown and reveal your drawing. You can create treasure maps that your children have to solve to discover what you left for them.
