Messy Monday!

Wow, what a great day for messy Monday! The students had SO much fun with Maple and Spruce! We began the morning by making choices in the classroom and preparing for our messy activities out on the hillside. The students prepared the paint and helped fill up a container of soap and water with some measuring tools and toys.

After the setup, it was time to get MESSY! The students had choices of painting with paintbrushes or using their hands, playing with water and creating art on a white sheet using water colors in a spray bottles. The most popular messy activity seemed to be the gel paint made by Maple! They cooked cornstarch, sugar, water and food dye to create a gooey material. We hug up a clear shower curtain between two trees and they created art by throwing the goo on the curtain. What a great, messy activity! Friendly reminder that tomorrow is pajama day!
