Fall Harvest Numbers

Tongs, number plates, and fall harvest gem mix!

My twins enjoy this activity a lot. I can change out the manipulative, and even change the tongs to chopsticks or a spoon.  I have the number 1-50 number plates, so some days we do a bigger set of numbers.

projected patterns and color

Graham and Parker had a lot of fun with the overhead projector last night!!

The first photo is of what was on the overhead projector, the rest are of a little play table they used to arrange some window color blocks on. The overhead projector, projects the pattern from it's tray and also what is on the table too!!   So magical!!

I love how colorful it is, and relaxing!  It's a very Zen like experience to play with the overhead projector and arrange different things to create patterns and color blends.

We named this mixture "yucky slop"!!

I also re-organized the books and magnets!

We made some fun discovery bottles! The tallest one is inspired by a discovery bottle made by "Meet the Dubiens"

Covered themselves in shaving cream and sprayed their sand box pink and purple with liquid water colors!
