Dancing Colors

Today we made colors dance! We did a fun science experiment with milk, food coloring, and dawn soap that brought our colors to life. The activity was not only fun but also reinforced our counting skills, color identification skills, ability to make predictions, and follow directions.

We used whole milk, neon (because nothing is better than some neon!) food coloring, dawn soap, and q-tips. We filled our pie plate with milk and food coloring and then dipped our Dawn soap covered q-tip into the milk and watched the colors dance. We had the opportunity to also make prints from our designs and do our own personal swirl in muffin wrappers. Check it out!

It's gets a little messy, but we like that!

Our own personal attempts!

Fish Windchime

As camp comes to an end we are wrapping up our Brazil and Amazon study. Today we made fish wind chimes out of recycled plastic eggs and pipe cleaners.  This activity was great for reinforcing counting, patterns, fine motor control, and following directions.

To begin students threaded eggs through a pipe cleaner.

Earlier in the week we had some fun time outside with bubbles!

Fling Painting

Today we got a chance to express ourselves creatively and actively! We got to fling paint! It was a great whole body project that helped build turn taking skills, color skills, gross and fine motor control, and following directions.
