Lessons about Borax


Along with Laura's lessons on rocks and minerals came a lesson on Borax.  I thought it would be awesome to give Laura something to associate with her lesson.  I have Borax.  Living cheaper has meant having Borax on hand for my laundry soap and other cleaning products.  I got it out to show Laura exactly what Borax is and how it looks.

I let Laura touch the Borax too, but she washed her hands as soon as we were done.


Laura got to feel how fine Borax can be. 
I don't think I knew what Borax was until a month or two ago when I decided to go frugal with our cleaning supplies.  I still didn't understand it was a mineral until I read Laura's lesson.  Yes, I'm learning too.
