Science Toy Maker will help keep the kids entertained for a half hour or more with materials you can find around the house. (Half an hour is forever in "kid time". It can be even longer in "mom time" if the kids are whining about not having anything to do.)
The project for making a pipe (the playing kind, not the smoking kind) out of a straw sounded interesting to me until I started thinking about having to listen to its "music" for the rest of the day. Fortunately there are several more projects we can try.
