Problem Solving in our Early Childhood environment has many faces. And many moments. From “Flush and Wash” to “That’s MY toy!” to “What letter makes THIS sound?” our days are filled with opportunities to role model positive problem solving.

As such, it’s been 10 days since we began our experiment of soaking carnation- like flowers into colored water. We’ve been waiting. Waiting for the stems to soak up the water and transform the petals! But nothing has happened. So we went back to the drawing board. “Why isn’t it working?” we asked our Wee Friends. “How can we change our experiment to achieve the results we want: multi colored flowers!” So we got to work answering those questions.

And we will wait. We will solve this exciting problem. For there is more magic to make and see and enjoy. Have a terrific day. –Laurie
