Once you know about how to make salt crystals, you will realize that you can make them grow on any sort of shape you like. We’ve done it with alphabet letters, spirals and other shapes.
MomBrite has a tutorial for growing salt crystals on snowflake shapes, which gives them the look of having snow on them.
These are great little decorations for the rest of winter and a fun way to do an easy science experiment with your kids.
Check out the blog for the details, the science behind salt crystal formation and science extensions to try.
