Orange ya happy?

Our theme color this week is orange!

We planted the pretty flowers above. No sprouting yet, but the little neighbors had a great time scooping and pouring dirt, planting the seeds, and WATERING.

We also mixed red and yellow paints in a baggie to make orange. The zip locks were taped shut so we were able to squish without getting messy. I was running low on yellow paint, so I kept adding water. Seemed to work.

Looks like tomato sauce.

On Tuesday, we squeezed oranges to make fresh orange juice. Now THAT was sticky!

Have a lovely day!

Fancy flowers

Continuing with our F theme, we made fancy flowers the other day.

Early in the week, we painted some paper and small paper plates. We had an "anything goes" paint session--paint brush painting, finger painting, arm painting--the willy-nilly approach!

Though I explained the intended outcome for the project, my flowery vision was lost in a free-for-all process of color. Perfectly fine.

The creations dried for a couple days before they were snipped into some fancy flowers and glued onto a construction paper background.

The artists were so proud to show off their finished pieces.

Fantastic!!

Have a lovely day.
