Crystal growing kit not dissolving
This is usually caused by using a
solution that isn't saturated. The cure is to dissolve more solute into the liquid. Stirring and applying heat can help to get solute into solution. Keep adding solute until you start to see some accumulate at the bottom of your container. Let it settle out of solution, then pour or siphon the solution off, being careful not to pick up undissolved solute. If you don't have any more solute to use, you can take some comfort in knowing that the solution will become more concentrated over time, as evaporation removes some of the
solvent. You can speed this process by increasing the temperature where your crystals are growing or by increasing air circulation. Remember, your solution should be loosely covered with a cloth or paper to prevent contamination, not sealed. See this link for details

Get mars mud out of clothes
Use Rubbing Alcohol (70% Isopropyl Alcohol) from the drugstore. It is the easiest way to remove Mars Putty from natural fabrics and hair.Do a spot test first on a non-visible part of fabric to ensure the alcohol will not cause further damage. Liberally pour the rubbing alcohol onto the affected area. The Mars Putty should liquefy and become easily removed with a paper or cloth towel.
If your Mars Putty has adhered to a synthetic fabric such as nylon or polyester, Rubbing Alcohol may damage the fabric. Try WD-40 to loosen the Mars Putty and remove it from the surface.
If all else fails, take your garment to the dry cleaners and let them know your stain is silicone based.

Hi I've got a babyweaver
Sounds like you are missing the central support rod or bar that connects the Babyweaver swinging crib to the stand, providing stability and support for the crib. This component is crucial for maintaining the structural integrity of the crib and ensuring safe usage. Here are some steps you can take to address the missing part:
1. Contact the Manufacturer:
- Reach out to Babyweaver or the manufacturer of the swinging crib to inquire about obtaining a replacement central support rod.
- Provide them with details about the missing part and the specific model of the swinging crib to ensure you receive the correct component.
2. Check for Spare Parts:
- Check if the swinging crib came with a user manual or assembly instructions that may have information about spare parts or replacement components.
- Look for any contact information provided for customer support or spare parts inquiries.
3. Online Search:
- Conduct an online search using keywords such as "Babyweaver swinging crib central support rod" or "Babyweaver crib replacement parts" to see if you can find the specific part for purchase.
- Explore baby product retailers, online marketplaces, and specialty stores that offer replacement parts for nursery furniture.
4. Local Retailers:
- Visit local baby product stores or furniture stores that carry nursery items.
- Bring the existing part (if you have one side of the support rod) to help them identify and match the missing component.
5. Custom Fabrication:
- If you are unable to find a suitable replacement part, consider contacting a metal fabrication shop or a carpenter who may be able to custom-make a central support rod that fits your Babyweaver swinging crib.
- Provide them with measurements and details about the required specifications for the part.

I have a new model teddy ruxpin and my 2 year old daughter tripped and dropped him. His lights all come on but his app and sound are not working
It sounds like the drop may have caused some internal damage to the electronics or wiring of the Teddy Ruxpin toy. Here are some steps you can take to try and troubleshoot the issue:
- Restart the Toy: Sometimes a simple restart can resolve minor issues. Try turning off the toy completely, including any power switches or buttons, and then turning it back on again after a few moments.
- Check Battery Compartment: Ensure that the batteries are properly inserted and making good contact with the terminals inside the battery compartment. If the drop caused any displacement of the batteries, it might affect the toy's functionality.
- Inspect for Physical Damage: Carefully examine the exterior of the toy for any signs of physical damage, such as cracks, dents, or loose parts. If there's visible damage, it may indicate internal damage as well.
- Test with Different Devices: If the Teddy Ruxpin toy connects to a separate app or device for sound playback, try connecting it to a different device to see if the issue persists. This can help determine if the problem lies with the toy or the connected device.
- Contact Customer Support: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it's possible that the drop caused internal damage to the toy's electronics or wiring. In this case, you may need to contact the manufacturer's customer support for assistance. They may be able to provide further troubleshooting steps or offer a repair or replacement option.
Keep in mind that since the toy is relatively new, it may still be under warranty, which could cover repairs or replacements for damage caused by accidents like drops. Be sure to check the warranty information or contact the manufacturer for guidance on warranty coverage.

I heard about a pretend toy store game to play with children. Does anyone know how it works? I am not so good at making games up.
This game is
a great one to play with kids on a wet afternoon stuck indoors. Basically use
their toys to turn an area of the house into a toy store. Get the kids involved
in choosing the games they would like to 'sell'. Write prices lists and stick
them somewhere that the kids can see and reach ie Lego sets - $4, Dolls - $2
If you don't
have any pretend money, you can make your own with the kids, then divide up the
tasks and let them enjoy many hours of pretend shopping.
