Introduction: "Magic Beans"

By

Our "Magic Beans" are quick and easy to make and loads of fun. Remember the old Mexican Jumping Beans that you may have purchased as a kid. Not real Mexican Jumping Beans but the plastic ones. See how they worked and make your own!

Warning - This may look like candy. Keep out of reach of small children.

We painted the capsule with spray paint. We wish we would have chosen different colors as these make the "magic beans" look like candy.

KEEP OUT OF REACH OF SMALL CHILDREN

Roll the "magic beans" around in your hand. They will wobble and move in unexpected ways.
