Welcome!
Today a five-year-old is going to show you how to make rock candy. Enjoy!

Recipe:
A wooden skewer
Two clothespins
1 cup of water
1 cup of sugar
A tall narrow glass or jar
Instructions:
Clip the wooden skewer into the clothespin so that it hangs down inside the glass and is about 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the bottom of the glass.
Remove the skewer and clothespin and put them aside for now.
Get a helpful adult! Pour the water into a pan and bring it to boil. Pour about 1/4 cup of sugar into the boiling water, stirring until it dissolves.
Keep adding more and more sugar, each time stirring it until it dissolves.
Carefully pour the sugar solution into the jar almost to the top. Then submerge the skewer back into the glass making sure that it is hanging straight down the middle without touching the sides.
Allow the jar to fully cool and put it someplace where it will not be disturbed.
Now just wait. The sugar crystals will grow over the next 3-7 days.
