More May madness

Balloons are always a hit in our house, so I thought why not use them for craft. I haven't done this since my days at pre-school with the kids and was sure Nate would enjoy it. I set out the table and when Nate saw it he was very excited - we did page after page of "a splotch over here, and a splotch over there" singing as we went.



We were experimenting with colours this week and tried out an Experiment with milk, food colouring and a spoon for mixing.

First to fill the glasses with milk - "what are we doing mum?" the anticipation growing




Then we added the food colouring, a drop in each glass. First was red and yellow leaving a glass in the middle. Then we added one of each to that glass and made orange. Next was to do a blue and then mix blue and yellow in the glass between them..."wow mum green". Finally then blue and red together to make purple.




It was fun just mixing a bit here and a bit there of all the colours. we ended up with a selection of nice browns!
