Moon Marble

This last Tuesday our homeschool group went and visited Moon Marble in Bonner Springs. It was so much fun and the kids really enjoyed themselves. The gentleman who was making the marbles spent so much time in explaining not only how to make the marbles and even gave them a small science lesson on how the color is made. It's by the chemistry of the glass and the temp of the heat that you use to melt the glass. Very interesting!!! The only complaint I would have is they need to work on the friendliness of the lady at the front check out. I just don't understand why some people have to be so rude. But the overall experience was great and we would and will go back and visit. The beauty of the marbles are amazing. Some of the larger marbles have a price tag of $265. I'm in the wrong business:)

This is the gentleman who was demonstrating how to make the marbles.
