Some things we've done the last couple of days


We've packed a lot of things in the last couple of days. Alyssa loves this dot marker activity!  So thankful to tot school for sharing her stuff!  Here's the link:  Tot School


This method of painting helped Susanna to understand pointillism.  Fun!


These are a few science experiments we got from Biology for Every kid.  I love this book-so far the only thing it's asked for that I haven't had on hand was a white carnation. The book explains what happens very well.  I do have to bring it down to Susanna's level of understanding, though.




We also did a really cool pinecone hygrometer experiment that came in my email from HomeScienceTools.  If you click the link, there's also a link on that to a worksheet to draw the before,during & after picture of the pinecone.


This one I took because at the end of the day I realized how much art & science we did and how little housecleaning/tidying got done.  Jonah & Susanna made cookies amongst the rubble of books, papers, my planner, coffee, pots & pans, etc!  The cookies were fantastic!  It's called Pumpkin Cookies with Carmel Frosting.
 

Paper mache projects-a piggy bank that was painted pink.  The balloon was painted to look like the earth.


And here's Alyssa doing her favorite thing: painting.
