Step into Summer - Steve Spangler Science Sun Sensitive Fabric Review & Giveaway {CLOSED}

Welcome to our Step into Summer event! Jennifer and I have some wonderful things lined up for you to help you get ready for summer. Make sure you visit Jennifer at Eighty MPH Mom daily to see what she has in store for you too. Many days we will be reviewing and giving away the same item on both blogs - that is two chances for you to win!

"Nobody has more fun teaching science than Steve Spangler. He earned his credentials as a science author, teacher, professional speaker, toy designer and an Emmy award-winning television personality. But, he remains a big kid at heart as he teaches people how to launch potatoes, whip up the perfect batch of slime and turn an ordinary bottle of soda into an erupting geyser of fun. His best-selling science kits and educational toys help to get kids excited about science at home, and his recent appearances on a number of network television shows, including the Ellen DeGeneres Show, demonstrate his true passion for making learning fun."

I love experimenting and doing fun stuff with the kids. When I came across Steve Spangler Science, I couldn't believe how much cool stuff they sold!

I am a butterfly fanatic. They are by far my most favorite of creatures. I saw the Butterfly Pavilion and immediately fell in love! I could watch the life cycle of butterflies with this. Now that would be awesome! I think my kids would get a kick out of it too!

I had the opportunity to try out the Sun Sensitive Fabric for my review. I had never even heard of it until asked to review it, but once I watched the video I was all for it! It looked like so much fun!

It's super cool how this fabric works. You simply pin it to cardboard, then lay a shape on top of it. You can use any shape you want. Let your imagination run wild! Then you lay it in the sun for a few minutes, rinse it off and voila... You have a cool new print on the fabric.

Below you'll see a video. I strongly encourage watching it just so you can see how it works and how easy it is to do!


Of course we tried our own experiment too! My sister has been here for a few days and she made a cutout of a butterfly, then traced it onto her foot. I thought it looked super cool and asked her to make another for this experiment. I used that and I grabbed a birdhouse from the kitchen, then set off on my journey to the backyard. I laid the fabric out, then laid the birdhouse and butterfly cutout on the fabric, let it sit in the sun for a few minutes and this is the result!


I love how they both turned out, but the butterfly is just the coolest. My sister liked it so much that I made another for her. She's also going to sketch some more things like a flower and a dog so we can see how those turn out!

Buy It!

You can buy Sun Sensitive Fabric for $26.95 and it includes 20 pieces of fabric.
