After everyone had a chance to create a basket, we set up the art table to paint hard boiled eggs.

When the painting was complete, many friends continued working with the dye to color paper, cotton balls and coffee filters. The sensorial exploration that emerged involved squeezing, mixing colors, splashing, stretching cotton, wrapping wet cotton on a spoon and finally, jewelry making with dyed cotton balls.

Our Wee Sprouts today are cucumber slices and carrots. For breakfast, we served Kix and bananas and apples. For lunch Lisa made beef and cheese burritos on whole grain bread, cantaloupe and mixed veggies. We also gave WF the choice of eating their painted hard boiled egg.

Enjoy this weekend!
