Colorful Wednesday

We began our morning working with paint dobbers.  The kids were exploring how colors were mixing together.  What happens when they use two dobbers at the same time.

"This looks like a cloud."

"These are bubbles floating in the air. They are magical. You turn into mermaid."


 

 

 

Students began to notice the colors didn't quite match the colors on the bottles.  The blue looked a little green. The red looked a little purple.  When asked "Why do you think this is happening?"  Some friends said, "Maybe the caps are wrong. Maybe the juice got mixed."

Children started to experiment with different pressure on the dobbers.  "When I push hard it goes splatter." 

"Im making little dots.  Im using them soft."

"I can make juice come out!" Student is squeezing the bottle to the paper. 

Once the paint dried students then used markers to add to the art work.




This morning we also worked with floam.  The children were into making numbers and doing some math problems.  That's some smart kiddos!

 

 "What number did I make?  I have lots of zeros."

A small group took a trip over to the garden to pick flowers for tomorrow's capers day.
