A couple unconventional projects we’ve done in his past week: sun prints and building a car. The box on the car said 8+, but the almost 8 year old needed a lot of help, and a lot of it was even difficult for me, but we got it together and the wheels spin. Anyone want to guess what each print is of? I’ll put the answers in a pinned comment tomorrow.

Slide 2- A white model car with blue and red accents held together by visible tiny bolts with a small metal model jack placed under the side. ——————————————————— #sunprinting #modelcar #keepembusy #summeractivities #kidsart #processartforkids #processart https://www.instagram.com/p/CDj3WbdHu74/?igshid=9xt1ofwjqn16

Everybody loves the volcanoes, and we turned it into more of an interesting experiment this time. I had some pickle juice left over, we mixed up some citric acid and water, and we of course used plain old vinegar. The citric acid volcano (swipe) made big bubbles very fast. The pickle juice volcano (swipe again) was very foamy with rolling bubbles and kept going for a very long time. The regular volcano worked as you expect it to, and they all came together to make a wonderful soup in the box lid we were using as our tray, which the 7 year old then proceeded to play with for quite a while. Image description: Slide 1- Three glass jars on a cement counter in a plastic bin lid, surrounded with a sparkly, bubbly liquid with a purple tint and glitter floating on the top. The jars are overflowing with bubbles, the two on the outsides with purple bubbles and the center one with slightly green bubbles. Slide 2- Plastic bin lid with three jars inside, two with just baking soda and glitter and the third with bubbles overflowing and pooling in the lid with silver glitter floating on top of the bubbles. Slide 3- Same lid and jars with the first settling down and a second filled to the brim with foam that has green glitter floating at the top. The third jar is still untouched. Slide 4- The jars in the lid are surrounded by the bubbly liquid with a mix of green and silver glitter floating on top and a hand is squeezing a bottle of purple vinegar into the final jar with baking soda with red glitter on top. ——————————————————— #bakingsodavolcanoes #kidscience #keepembusy #outdoorscience #scienceandart #processartforkids https://www.instagram.com/p/CDcMe96nyrt/?igshid=gdl59pch3e2j

More #playmakecreate goodness today with these ice sculptures. It started out looking like tie dye, then ended up as a galaxy. Also, just to toot my own horn, I successfully transported all that ice over the hill, with a doggy daycare drop off, without it melting at all. Image description: set of four slides as follows Slide 1: piles of ice in a storage bucket with small splashes of red and blue color on top. The bucket is on a green mat surrounded by squirt bottles, a spray bottle and bowls of salt. A small child is pouring glitter from a small vial onto the ice. Slide 2: The same ice bucket with mostly blue and a little red covering the surface. The red squirt bottle is aimed into the bucket from the top left corner. Slide 3: The ice in the bucket is beginning to melt, creating a dark purple sea around an island of ice. There is now some green visible among the red, blue, and purple on the ice along with more glitter in various colors. Salt is raining down from above in the upper left corner. Slide 4: A close up of the ice showing the mixing of the colors, mostly blue and purple with some red and green in the center. There is also red, green, gold, and silver glitter visible on the surface of the ice. ——————————————————— #playmakecreateaprocessarthandbook #playmakecreatebymericherry #keepembusy #kidsactivities #kidsscience #processart https://www.instagram.com/p/CCwn3S-nIUC/?igshid=1g4dyvavdhegk

Getting out Meri Cherry on this week taking ideas from #playmakecreate. Today’s project: worlds. Image description: circles of construction paper in light blue, dark blue, pink, orange, and brown are set out on a table with a pack of markers, a pack of paint sticks, and a pack of triangular crayons. A Paw Patrol vehicle sits on the corner of the table while a small child’s hands draw on the pink circle with a black crayon. ——————————————————— #kidsart #summerprojects #keepembusy https://www.instagram.com/p/CCpHx12H-eN/?igshid=12m3jovsuooyy

Nagmamadali na siya at magbobonfire na daw sila. May iiyak nanaman dahil sa hotdog🤪 You can make practice sheets like this for their names or different words by using tracing fonts. There are many but we used “LETTERS FOR LEARNERS LINED” -see last pic for more fonts. . If you’re gonna print more, you can actually bind like a pad paper. Stack and press it with heavy books up to almost its edge. The side to be glued should be on the edge of the table. Glide the glue and wait for it to dry 😉 I personally use stickswel 🙂 . . . #jadegabrielle #gabbieat4yo #mommyduties #keepembusy #diymommy #parenting101 #lockdownprojects #lockdownshenanigans https://www.instagram.com/p/B-jp1fUH96SWgheyYe9zUk_S3LAqWPH-7s2bRc0/?igshid=bf6h1m36xwbf
