Messy Messy Day

We have been looking forward to these warm days! This time of the year is the best for many reasons, but one reason in particular is all of the messy play we get to engage in. This morning out on the hillside we got to do all kinds of fun messy things. 

To start, some of the boys picked up spray bottles full of colored water. This is one of our favorite ways to "paint" and talk more about colors. As the kids sprayed the sheet, they watched as the white turned into blue, red, green, and eventually just all purple. 




J found that although the sheet was turning several different colors... so were his hands! He was cracking up as the green color stained his little hands. 



With each spray he became a little more curious. He tested the colors out on the sheet first, but seemed to be dissatisfied with the product. That's when he started spraying his hands a little more. The colors were much more vibrant on his hands than the sheet! With green and purple hands J happily played with his friends on the hillside. 



It wouldn't be messy play without some soapy water! To clean off the rainbow of colors on the kids hands and arms, they could go play in the soapy water. L & T were LOVING the bubbles, so much so L took a little swim to make sure he really got the whole body experience 😉

They worked purposefully and explained the different parts as they worked.  "We need to cut out a circle for it to be the telescope." B, V, & E continued to work with one another and make compromises throughout their building in order to make the best version of a submarine as they could.  The three finished building their submarine, but noticed something was missing.  "It needs a propeller so it can move!" How could they make a propeller? What does a propeller look like? The kids got to work on some research about wh...
