Bubble Fun!

Here is a new idea for some bubble fun and you probably already have everything at home!

Bubble Foam is so fun and an Easy clean up! 
Here is what you need: 

• Bubble bath or body wash (TEAR FREE)
• Water
• Optional: food coloring
• Hand mixer

How to: With a hand mixer, blender, or stand mixer, mix the ingredients until “stiff peaks” form – like you’re making soapy whipping cream.

We hope to see you this afternoon at the Pick-up Parade!

Still need to dance?  Here are some more of our favorite Birch dancing songs!

Dominoes

Good morning! Today's challenge consists of making a dominos path! If you don't have dominos, have your child use books, game boxes, toilet paper rolls or paper towel rolls, blocks or markers to line them up in a row.

What happens when one of the materials falls over? How long can you get the path to go without it falling down? Can you create a circular design with your materials? Post a picture to the google photos or send us a picture via email!

Ball Toss Game

Today Joe and I played a ball toss game together.  We collected different containers in our basement and gathered balls from our ball pit.  I made a line on the floor that we could not cross when we tried to toss the balls into the containers.  Here is our setup

Enjoy our video!

Also a caterpillar update.  They have all made their chrysalises and we moved them into their netting habitat.  

In the move one fell off the cloth, but it is ok for it to be on the paper towel.  Now we wait 7-10 days for them to emerge.  

Paint Day!

There are many ways you can paint at home! If you have any paint, get some out and start your creation! You can mix the colors or keep them separate. Do you have watercolor paint or thicker paint? If you do not have any paint at home, no worries! You can paint with water outside on the ground and create neat designs and pictures! If you have chalk, you can draw and design with chalk and see how the chalk reacts when you paint over it with water. You can use paintbrushes, paint rollers, sticks, eye droppers, q-tips, your feet and/or your hands. Take a picture of your creation and post it to our google photos or send us a picture via email! Happy painting!

Caterpillar Surprise

I wanted to give everyone an update on the caterpillars.  On Saturday most of the caterpillars began to make their chrysalises!

Here they are hanging from the cloth on top of the cup. 

Check out this really cool video.  You can see them turning their bodies into their chrysalises. We have one left that needs to change into their chrysalis.  According to my research, I need to give it one more day before I transfer the cloth into the netting habitat. 

Here is what they look like today.  There are 6 chrysalises.  How many days do you think it will take for the butterflies to start emerging?  It has already been 3 days. What do you think the butterflies will look like once they emerge?
