BACKGROUND/ACTIVITIES
Winter WonderLab gives families something festive and out-of-the ordinary to do indoors this holiday season. Guests who participate in all the activities receive a Holiday Angles STEM-based ornament construction kit. Activities include:
• Gravy Boat Regatta—a wind-powered race through the South’s favorite non-Newtonian fluid gravy
• Chimney Santa Drop—a holiday take on the classic egg drop contest, complete with chimney
• Indoor Snowball Fight—a snowball fight with safe, poof ball “snow” instead of the frozen water variety
• Cardboard Gingerbread Village—combines creativity, recycling and engineering to create a gingerbread village entirely from cardboard
• Peppermint Cotton Candy—crush up candy canes, feed them into a cotton candy machine, and out comes peppermint-flavored cotton candy
• Gum Drop Constellations—uses gumdrops to represent stars in the sky; combine them to make constellations
• Kinetic Art Holiday Cards—created with a mixture of paint and marbles in a container; a bit of vigorous shaking creates an original piece of holiday card art
• Holiday Photo Frames for the photo booth—an arts and crafts project where kids create a handmade frame for their holiday photo – perfect for the refrigerator!
• Marbling Prints—use water marbling techniques to transfer patterns floating on the surface of water to paper
• Special Love’s Planetarium Show – take a trip to snowy moons, icy dwarf planets, and frozen comets to explore the chilliest places in the solar system.
