zoomo here's a fun zoomo that makes a

great gift it's homemade cocoa mix in a

decorated jar the zala family from

leaport Indiana sent us the directions

on how to make the homemade Coco mix and

Killian C of Portland Oregon emailed us

the directions on how to decorate a jar

using an art form known as decupage

first we'll bake par the jar you'll need

a glass jar with a lid

glue tissue paper ripped up into pieces

that's brightly colored a paper cup and

a

paintbrush first take your paper cup and

squir some glue into

it glue is kind of hard squeeze but

that's okay it's coming

out

then add a small amount of water just a

little bit will'll

do and mix it together with your

paintbrush it will be thin watery glue

but that's how you want

it spread it on to a small section of

your

jar just a thin

layer and add a piece of tissue

paper you want to smooth it

out

then add some

more you can overlap to make different

colors when you're done with that add

another layer of glue on top of the

tissue

paper do this all around the jar then

wait about an hour for it to dry when

you're done it should look like

this keep watching because later we're

going to show you how to make homemade

cocoa mix to put into your

[Music]

[Music]

jar my name is h*s I'm 12 years old

I live in a canyon called mastas Canyon

and it's in New

Mexico my grandfather's a cowboy my dad

is a cowboy and I'm a

[Music]

cowboy It's hard you have to live on the

ranch always something to do every day

like fix

fences my horse's name is Hector and

we've had him for about 15

years he's been

great horse ever since we bought him

been riding him since I was

like

four and ever since he's just taken care

of

me I've grown up with Hector and he sort

like been my best

friend my favorite thing to do is to go

out and

rope when I started roping I was 4 years

[Music]

old

well I love to rope because I'm with my

favorite friend a

horse takes a lot of skill to rope and

just feels good oh

miss the reason I chased around the

donkey is that I get practice roping his

feet he doesn't like the Rope on his leg

so he'll try to kick it off and while

he's doing that he'll kick the horse so

that teach the horse not to go real

close to the donkey so so when we go to

the real ropings he'll stay kind of back

and that's why you like

[Music]

him the hardest thing about roping is

staying on the

horse the Rope can go underneath the

horse's tail or you can kick him in the

wrong spot and he'll just start bucking

and you never

know one of the things I like most

living on the ranch is that I get to

ride my my horse every day I get to be

out here in fresh air and do anything I

really want to

do look a beautiful life up here and

she's not going to move from here for a

while hey Ray yeah what happens when you

tell a cow a secret I don't know it goes

in one ear and out the

other I know right nice have to

go

Brandon W a bully Marland sent us an

email challenging us to make an

invention he calls the ski boat air jet

it's a boat that skips across a pool of

water we're going to try to make ours

using styrofoam meat trays balloons

rubber bands some tape and washers you

can find washers at a local hardware

store okay you ready y so it has to skip

across the water well kind of it can't

like it's not like a sailboat you can't

like blow it across that's to go across

by itself kind of so the balloon would

probably push it across right yeah so

let's get a big old

balloon and then when it's on the water

you cut it and little all the air out

and it'll push it across wow that's a

really good idea but and we could use

like washers to down yeah wait are these

yellow things the same size yeah no this

is deeper O Okay so let's use a deeper

one and then we'll use the red one blad

why what do you think the deeper one

will do um don't you think that'll sink

a little more like maybe this will skid

oh good idea okay okay

ready oh almost see it hit the wall yeah

two let's try this out okay try to C

this in half so we

don't oh it's cool guys so we can do

that and then put the balloons in what

if we put these on the sides so it kind

of go straight oh good idea making the

hole for the balloon did it kind of work

I mean it was kind of going to stop

there well it stopped cuz it cuz it

can't spin for that long you know but

then the balloons will get it going for

the rest of the way yeah so they need to

be very big double jet it's

not okay okay cut this one and I'll hold

it

okay we watch your fingers hold wait

wait not yet no no wait I don't know if

this is going to work now okay what if

we what if you cut that one let me cut

that one really fast TR I don't know

hold on let's think how we're going to

cut

this we need like another pair of

scissors can we borrow your scissors

real

quick thanks okay okay ready on three

one two

three that worked uhuh that worked not

then how the fins go shouldn't they be

like a triangle yeah like like a shark

fin should we may like make a little

point in the front so it kind of go

straight well that like like a bow of

the boat do you think that'll work I

might could make it go slower maybe

somehow why I don't know SL down the

water no I think it would like cut

through the water

yeah on Set Go

why isn't that

working the hole is

bigger a little balloon and a little

paddle just see if it

works

way the reason it went crooked was

because this one ran out and this one

was pushing it and it was turning these

are fine yeah they just kind of fell we

can just use tape to make it a whole

awesome idea oh yes oh yes so we're

going to take the pin off cuz they

didn't

work waste of star

foam

go

almost this thing doesn't do anything my

friend no it's just see this one is

still too small this might be the two

balloons yeah that's what I was thinking

like cuz one of them can be bigger than

the other and make it go in a different

direction so so should we take them

out but once that like then we need we

need some

balloons need B well then we could use

one cuz one big one yeah if we put two

more balloons right here it would be a

four balloons pushing at the same time

yeah we got to hurry on that yeah we'll

hurry it looks so much bigger from here

and then when you like like from the

bottom look

at oh don't look at it from the

bottom we changed it a a lot a lot a lot

a lot a lot since the first time W

that's a

lot wait they have to blow up the Ballo

you guys blow up your balloons and stuff

on your mark put it down in the water

make sure that the power works let it go

for a second get set go

go come on little oh it's going the

right way don't push it don't push it

tap tap tap yours is good be because

yours has a paddle to make it move and a

balloon thank so you have two sources

mhm that are just

balloon you guys won obious good

job good

theom dear I love your show I Tred the

bean in the bottle experiment using four

bottles I made it very high after about

a month it died here's some here's a

picture of it after a little less than a

month thanks for having such a great

show Jo C of Canterbury New Hampshire

here's his picture

can we

see oh he's cute a cool cool looking F

okay what we just here's an email hi my

name is Melissa I am 9 years old I would

like to ask a question why do I have to

clean my room when nobody's coming over

and you can find things better in a

messy

room I think that maybe your parents

might want to just like your house to

look nice and after a while you will

make things start piling up more and

more and then when you finally have to

clean it cuz people are coming over it's

an even bigger task so if you just pick

something up right after you've played

with it it's easier I think it's easier

to find stuff in a clean room cuz you

don't have to like dig through

everything organized does anybody here

keep a clean room or a messy room clean

messy sometimes a little I can always

find things cuz I know where I'd leave

them but and I usually don't have to dig

for them unless they're like under my

clothes or something

Kimberly from Kansas sent us this email

okay how far do you have to count before

the letter A appears in a

number like one is spelled o n e it
