One of my favorite ways to celebrate Christmas is to make a science ornament with my kids. You can see all of our science ornaments from Christmas past here. This year we’ve been inspired by light and are grateful for the people who have been “lights” to us this past year. I ran across this quote that summed this sentiment up perfectly:
“At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.” – Albert Schweitzer
So this year we plan on giving these ornaments as teacher gifts thanking them for all that they do to keep our lights shining brightly…
What you need: clear plastic ornaments, bottle lights, ribbon, hot glue, and these cute tags
What you do:
Remove the top of the plastic ornament and uncoil the bottle lights. Insert the lights in the ornament and plug it with the ‘cork’ up to the light switch.
Add back the string of the hanger and glue the bottle top into the ornament
Add a pretty ribbon.
And a pretty tag.
And voila! Flip the switch and you’ve got a light up ornament! 
Who are the people and loved ones that light up your life? Here are the three that always light up mine (and keep me laughing🤣). We wish you a very Merry Christmas from our science lab to yours!
