Our next victims...

Part II of our last project got scrapped.
The plan was to string the rings on dental floss. I had spread the rings out in a container to dry for a couple days. Conveniently, this container had a lid. Inconveniently, I had created a perfect environment for growing mold! We ended up chucking our fuzzy little rings.

Pasta Rings...Get A Tint!

Add aforementioned paint, to aforementioned pasta.
(or rice. or beans. or really, whatever.)
If you want to participate in the next project, use something with a hole.

shake

poke

admire

They will want to feel it, smell it, probably even taste it.
Ask open ended questions.
"What does this remind you of?"
"Peas! Carrots! Corn"
"Did I not feed you guys today?
"What does it smell like?"
"Bread"
Hmm, maybe I need to get a new recipe?

For some unknown reason, I can only post four pictures per post. If somebody has a remedy for this, enlighten me!

Our next project involves aforementioned tinted pasta and dental floss, or string, or whatever.

Green is better than yellow!

This "snow" is nothing other than "super snow" from Discount School Supply, tinted with a little liquid water color paint made by Colorations. The snow comes in powder form, and what fun it is to add water, stir, and watch it turn into snow. I then spritzed it with liquid water color out of a spray bottle. The kids have been playing in it with utinsils, but hands and other objects would be great too! The best thing about the Colartions liquid water colors is it doesn't stain like food coloring. I could go on and on, but if I did I'd have to send them a bill!

Synopsis: I prefer projects that I can make out of (cheep) household ingredients. However, this stuff lasts and lasts, and a little bit of powder goes a long ways!
