Good afternoon!
It was a color mixing morning!
Today we explored freshly made yellow and blue playdough. Several friends exclaimed “the play dough is still warm!” which added interest to their experience. Everyone enjoyed the possibilities of using the two colors. Some friends wanted to keep the colors separate so they could make multicolored creations. Others loved kneading and mixing the dough, delighted to see it turn green. Adrian was especially interested in the color mixing side of things. In addition to making green he also wanted to make blue/green and yellow lime green. He enjoyed having a multitude of colors and hues. Mixing the colors works well when the dough is squished, squeezed and rolled together. This activity not only allows us to explore color science but also gives those fine motor muscles a great work out leading to strong hand writing skills later on.
We also enjoyed exploring open ended loose parts play opening our imaginations to unlimited possibilities!
Many of us experimented with rubber bands and peg boards allowing us to explore a multitude of geometric shapes.
