Pumpkin Magic

What happens when you take a bag of Reeses Pieces, a white plate, and a bit of hot water?  Keep reading to find out!
This afternoon I posed a question to the children. I asked them HOW we could make a pumpkin out of these candies that I spilled into the dish.
Two ideas quickly emerged...
push them all together... 
or line them around the edge. 
Both wonderful ideas, but for this experiment, we went with the latter.
Next, we slowly added a bit of hot water. Then we watched and waited.
So pretty!
We stared at the colors for awhile as if we were scientists and we noticed that it seemed as if we were looking at a pumpkin from the top down. We could even see the lines like on a real pumpkin.

Check out the video and enjoy the running commentary:)
