The boys were discussing the other night how they thought things would burn. We talked about how different material burn different ways. How something burn fast and other things burn slow. Well that just peaked the curiosity- I could see it in their eyes. Instead of finding a bunch of stuff burnt in my basement we decided to offer a controlled burn. We had the boys each pick something they want to see burn. B got a bucket and we let them burn different items in the house. Ansel wanted to 'sacrifice' one of his stuffys- duke! I know it seems weird to allow the boys to burn things but I'm really hoping after them learning how items burn and how quickly they won't ever play with fire with out us around. Oh- and no stuffys were sacrificed with the burnings. :) Sometimes you just have to learn by doing the thing.
