Kids Crafts, Sensory Play, Science, and More
Let’s keep going on this Valentine’s Day theme! Today we decided it would be fun to do some chemical reactions and see how baking soda and vinegar react when mixed together. We decided that we could make some love potions!
It is Sensory Saturday and we have not had a good sensory bin in a couple of weeks! This week, I decided to set up a sensory bin for Valentine’s Day. I cannot even begin to explain my children’s excitement when they came down to the sensory bin filled up! Clearly they had missed sensory play themselves.
Process Art is such a fun way to create art because the end result is not necessarily the goal of the art. Instead, the goal of process art is that the act of making the art is more relevant. So for toddlers and preschoolers this is such a fun way to created art. They do not need to feel the pressure to make something beautiful but instead to enjoy making art and crafts.
Today for our process art, we decided to paint with spaghetti! We made our own paintbrushes, we talked about what it might be like to paint with spaghetti. And of course my children wanted to experiment with spaghetti paintbrushes (spoiler: cooked or uncooked).
