Do you use colorful flame packets with your fire pit or fireplace? The packets have a mix of chemical granules. Here is a list of chemicals and the colors they produce in flames. The link has common, household chemicals and their respective flame colors: Epsom salts, borax, etc. The list suggest adding sugar, coffee creamer, flour, and iron filings for different effects—new ideas for me. Your kids might mix up colorful flames into paper bags to decorate as presents. Combine gift making into a science lesson!
