Place the ink from a highlighter in a glass of vinegar and place 1 egg in it. Wait several days and then remove the egg. It has become soft as a ball. Illuminate with a flashlight: it is translucent.

Place half an inverted lemon on a plate and stick a skewer into it. Draw a swirl on a sheet of colored paper and then cut the swirl with scissors to the center. Stretch the resulting swirl and place the center at the top of the skewer with the spiral falling towards the lemon. Place a lighted candle next to the lemon to turn the spiral.

Pour milk onto a plate and add dots of food coloring to it. Soak cotton round with dishwashing liquid and place it in the middle of the plate so that the food coloring begins moving!

Print Chefclub templates of small cards. Place each card in a small plastic pocket. Draw bathing suits for the characters with markers on the pockets. Dip the pockets in a glass of water to make the swimsuits appear!
