Out on the shelf this week
Out on the shelf this week
This new set of activities were put on the shelves early this week. Between playing and helping me with housework (she is getting so good at folding laundry!), my youngest daughter can be found choosing these activities from the shelves to work on.
This is a dropper, colored water and wax paper activity.
The dropper allows for making many small water bubbles on the wax paper but when dropped close together they merge into one large bubble. Very fun.
The bubbles can also be slid around the wax paper by slowly dragging the dropper through them. And lastly, the water bubbles can be sucked back into the dropper and put back into the bottle, leaving very little to get wiped up with the sponge.
I set out a number of different sized lids for tracing circles.
Here is the garlic press, sponges and water activity. Details can be found in this post.
Contents: squash seeds, colored purple rice, green glitter, apple seeds,
green colored rice, elbow pasta, red colored rice, pink tissue paper
tinfoil circles, yarn, blue tissue paper and green tissue paper
This is the most enjoyed activity that is out. This mini muffin tin, turned collage tray holds all sorts of fun materials for collage making. I put squares of poster paper next to the tray on the shelf. We use white glue in a very small jar (the sponge stuck into the top serves as a cover) and the glue is applied with a paint brush. The sponge (for wiping sticky messes) and the paint brush get washed off after the activity is done. All of the glueing is done on a plastic cutting mat.
I dont even remember how many collages have been made, but both of my daughters enjoy the process every time. I think the collage tray (contents rotated periodically) will be on the shelf for long while!

On our activity shelf
On our activity shelf
I thought I would share what I put out at the beginning of this week for my daughter to use. Most of it has been seen before on this blog, long ago, but the activities must be favorites because theyve been well used.
Water and food color mixing is always fun. A drop of red and a drop of blue soon become purple! It is like magic every time. There is also room on the ice cube tray for experimentation which has happened more than once. I loved hearing my daughter say to herself out loud "I wonder what happens if you mix them all?" and then watching from a distance as she found out the answer.
Sewing a pumpkin. I drew a circle on the burlap and provided a vey dull needle.
Leaf rubbing using the pressed leaves we collect on walks. I leave a stack of papers on the tray so all my daughter has to do is lift one up, place the leaf down, and put the paper on top. The crayon rocks work well for this.
The results: Almost as pretty as what we have outside and have been enjoyed these past few weeks.
