Making green

What you need
Squeeze bottle s of blue and yellow paint
Something to spread the paint with
White construction paper
I would suggest newspaper for your table this one is little messy
Put items on table and let the kids have fun
the kids got to see the different colors of green they can make the ones who used more yellow had light green and the ones who used more blue had a darker green the kids really loved this one and had a great time with it due to the newspaper clean up was a synch

Caterpillar

So today we are on thr letter v so the plan was to make volcanos but as you all know especially with 3s it does not always work out as planned. While on the playground a friend found a caterpillar which led us to a nature hunt looking for leaves and sticks to add to a butterfly habitat that I use every year so we read the very hungry caterpillar and then made caterpillars and of course danced to if I were a butterfly did nothing as planned but the kids learn with life what a great day it is amazing when we can share in God s creations.

Volcano experiment

Diet 7 up, gingerale,  diet coke and mentoes
Which one is higher we let the kids determin what the think would happen and then we added the mentoes wow what a fun expirment

Once we got back to class I showed the kids how then can make a smaller reaction on a cookie sheet I gave them a cup of vinegar food color and baking powder once it started to bubble they squished their paper on top they had so much fun
I called this stinky art cause my room smelled :)

What you need:
