Easter Tree




Ella started by painting a trunk.  Then she put really wet blobs of paint on the trunk and blew them with a straw.  She added a few green leaves by dipping her finger in the wet watercolor paint.  Finally, she taped little Easter eggs all over her tree.

sensory tub fun



A little science in the sensory tub - first we squirted in some shaving cream and then we added cornstarch.  There was a dramatic change in consistency almost immediately.  Eventually, the cornstarch soaked up most of the water in the shaving cream.  It was sooooo soft!
