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 the beloved snow into a more calming activity. Each child participated in some way, but didn't rush to dump out the colors. Instead they used small eye droppers to fill up and squeeze the colors out. It was a beautiful snowy rainbow. 

Have a great and safe weekend! I hope you are able to get out and play in the snow as long as it's there. See y'all on Monday
