This past week we had lots of fun as spring began to finally show up! We made kites, birds, experimented with colors, and even had a guest come and speak to us about fire safety!
This was one of our spring science experiments this week!
Spread a thin layer of baking soda onto a flat surface (wide containers or flat plates work best) and put a drop of food coloring in a little vinegar. Supply the children with eyedroppers or small spoons and viola--instant sensory exploration! The children can mix colors, see the "fuzzy bubbles" and can hear the vinegar and baking soda fizz as it combines!
 |
A definite hit for all of our twos! They loved it and we will be sure to revisit this experiment again.
Try it at home! |

| Just some cute tissue paper kites to display in the classroom. They love being able to get sticky and dirty with glue... |

Firefighter Joe came to visit and while talking to us about fires and how to stay safe, shared some nifty stickers with the kids. The toddlers loved them, especially because they smelled like chocolate! Yes, they had nothing to do with fire safety, but the kids still loved Firefighter Joe and his stickers.

Almost forgot about our little bug friends that the children found this week!
They had a chance to watch a caterpillar crawl across the picnic table. They were so excited and lived watching it wiggle!
 |
| The caterpillar then led to other great buggy explorations, like this roly poly. Not in the photos are the other worms and a beetle that the children also found over the week. They had a great time looking at them under magnifying glasses and gently placing them back in their habitats! |
