PhD chemist and crafter Jamie Hudson shows you how to turn that same chemical reaction into a spouting whale or a drooling Pavlov's dog. You just need a few basic household supplies and your Cricut to put together zany new friends while also learning a little about chemistry as well as conditioned responses.
