We had a busy week talking about all our senses and what we use them for.
We finished our star ornaments and packaged them up.
Another activity we enjoyed was making a star -studded wreath.
The first day we decorated our paper stars. We counted each corner as we decorated them.
We used wet paper towels to make the stars damp and then used markers to color them. We observed how different markers look when they are wet.
The next step was to make flour glue. This was really fun to make. I had no idea about this until Funshine express introduced it to me. It's a really neat texture and so easy to make.
Measure 2 cups flour and place it in a bowl.
Add 1 tablespoon salt and gently stir.
Slowly stir in 2 cups of water and green food coloring to add a green tint.
The mixture should be a thick, but spreadable -something like cake frosting.
Add more flour or water to get right consistency.
The kids enjoyed using their fingers to spread the mixture around the rim of the paper plate.
The kids enjoyed taking turns mixing the mixture around.
Next week we will continue my senses and learn about the evergreen and gifts.
