Making the Rainbow

The afternoon was filled with all kinds of colors and experimenting. As we continue on our exploration of painting, Pine friends tested out another way to paint: eyedroppers.

As L pulled the eyedropper out of the dark blue water he noticed all of the air bubbles in the slender tube. He immediately squeezed the rubber tip and watched as the blue water shot out.

"Look it's coming out! It's melting."

B excitedly filled up his eyedropper with pink.

He repeatedly filled the eyedropper with the colored water and giggled as it shot out of the small opening.

"It's turning blue."

"It's green!"

"I'm making a rainbow."

"Look! It's so high up now."

"I want to mix up all of the colors."

"I'm using two so I can mix the colors."

"Look, if you mix blue with the yellow it will make green!"

As we move through this new week of school the Pine room will continue their exploration of colors and painting. We can't wait to see how else we can make a rainbow!

Day 2 Pine Room Fun!

For our invitations we have our small world were we can tell stories about what our families like to do outside. In our dramatic play we are showing how we can care for others, including our baby dolls. Outside we are checking out how fun our giant snail and mud kitchen are.

Rainbow Snow!

The Pine kids wrapped up their week with playing in the snow! Unfortunately, it is just a wee bit too cold to be playing outside. I do appreciate all of the kids wearing snow boots, coats, hats, and gloves though! It's helpful for the days in which we do decide to take a quick walk around the block 😊 Instead of playing in the snow outside, we brought it inside! Snow is fun to play in, but we couldn't really build a snowman, throw it around, or make snowballs.. what could we do?! Then it dawned on us, let's paint it! We got out some water colors, eye droppers, and a big pile of snow and the kids went to town. They used their knowledge of mixing colors to create new ones as they dropped them onto the white snow. "It's so cold!" "Look, look, I am making it pink!" "It's blue snow!" They giggled and laughed as the slow melting snow absorbed the bright vibrant colors. It hardly looked like snow anymore! This was a great way to incorporate...
