Thursday Rainbows and Clouds

Shades or orange!

Yesterday we painted some cloud pictures, using the "It Looked Like Spilt Milk" book as a guide.

Wednesday Rainbows...

More ice melting today, today we did shades of green.

 

While we worked today we enjoyed listening to Brahms (in honor of his birthday this Saturday).  We listened to Brahams The Symphonies





We also baked a few loaves of bread...

And played out in the sunshine!!!

Tuesday Rainbows

Today we continued our Rainbow theme.   We made shades of purple and the girls wanted to make brown (which they rightly guessed was all the colors mixed together).

Purples!

After starting the ice cubes melting, we made rainbow crayons.  I've seen this idea in quite a few places lately but can't recall where.  Grandma Judy gave us a box of old crayons and we peeled the paper off, broke them into pieces and then mixed them in a cupcake pan. Fun!

For a bit of math practice the girls did some Hundred Board Puzzles and then we did a bit of graphing using the cupcake die and graphing sheet from 2TeachingMommies

Monday Night

We just couldn't wait till tomorrow to start our rainbow ice cubes!

 First we removed all our ice cubes from their trays.  The we placed two reds in one container, two yellows, and two blues.  Then one red and one yellow, one blue and one yellow, and one red and one blue. 

 We watched them begin to melt and the girls realized that the mixtures were going to make different colors!

Once all the the ice had melted, they were such pretty colors!
