    Making Rock Candy

    I know some of you have done this with your kids. So I have a question. While you are leaving it set for 7 days, how do you keep flies, dirt, etc out of it? I mean I can see every critter around trying to come get the sugar. I can't wrap my head around keeping this clean. Any ideas?

    I've never made it with the daycare kids, but what about covering it with plastic wrap?

      We tried it with plastic wrap and filled the house with ants.

        We did ours in the winter, so I personally don't have a tried and true solution... but... you could try setting them up over a tea towel sprayed with vinegar. Vinegar is a natural deterrent and ants can't follow the scent trail.

        Our if you have a cake cover (or those covers they make for plants to protect them from frost), that would work.
