Little Scientists

Here are just a few highlights of some recent Science and Messy play in our backyard play environment! They played with water beads, slime,  combinations of flour, cornstarch, body wash, and shaving cream, flowers, fruit counters, mirrors, bottles, test tubes, pipettes, tongs,  various types of funnels and canning funnels, etc. all mixed up in various random ways. 

This is very common outdoor play for them, but they really enjoy it and of course they had an awesome time as usual! You can see more posts like this by browsing our Science, Polymers, Slime, and Goo board on Pinterest!! Click HERE to view that board!

Making a MESS is the BEST!

 Graham and Parker had a lot of fun this afternoon in our outdoor play environment. When we were on our way inside to get cleaned up, They said to me "this was the best day ever!" I love when I hear that! They say this pretty often, but it still counts each and every time!! I am glad that almost every day is the best day ever to them!! The focus today was on our water play cove. We love every part of our outdoor play environment but today we mainly used the water play cove. They also played in the sand table and sandbox, and on the trampoline.
