More Green

As I do these messy activities I'm learning things that will help make them better. The first activity we did inside, mistake. The second activity I didn't observe the entire time, mistake. This activity...I used normal house paint that we had laying around, MISTAKE. Always use washable paint people! These small things will make it so we can continue to have fun and I won't be stressed by them mess.

Color of the Week: GREEN

I figured it was about time that Will could recognize more than blue and pink, so we started our first color of the week. Here he's playing in a sensory bin filled with split green peas (dried) and all the green toys I could find.

 This is vanilla pudding with lots of green food coloring, we were "finger painting"

 I was extremely grateful for warm weather so we could do this outside, because I didn't want a repeat of our first green activity (see previous post). This was the result:

And this was an activity to help fine motor skills so Will's fingers will be better prepared to control a pen. It was a bit of a history lesson too.

We also listened to the St. Patrick's Day Martin and Sylvia Sparkle Story. Sparkle Stories are awesome, check them out here.
