Japanese Candy + Brainbows = Weird Concoction Fun

My friend Laura sent these Japanese candy mixing kits.

They make gooey blobs and foam that tastes like Japanese melon candy.
The kids had a blast concocting sugary weird consistency mixtures.

Ivan is making some “brainbows” tiny seed-like pellets that expand into marble sized orbs. Laura sent us some of these last year and we received more this year from our pal Meghan. They bounce and get big with just hot water. So much fun – though less sugary than the Japanese candy mixes which is a plus or a minus depending on your perspective.
