"Bursting Colors"

 

 

This is the result of our first interaction with primary colors.

 

The children had a fun sensory experience making new colors with shaving cream and glue. 

 

After making pretend ice cream with the puffy paint some of the children took the exploration to a different direction, painting with it.

 

The children collaborate and respect each other during their play. Watching this group of 3 and 2 years old,  make me appreciate the spontaneity and simplicity of their interactions.

 

 

Today the children made and experiment mixing food colors with baking soda and vinegar .

The experience brought questions like, if we put a lot of "water"! vinegar? Why are the colors not mixing, if we see the bubbles, going up and up? Can we make the whole thing wet? Is it going to go all the way up?

It was a fun activity that intrigued the children giving a deeper meaning to the experience.

"The Colors Shake, Shake"

 The children were intrigued with the why bean bags couldn't make new colors but the translucent material did.

 The children had fun playing with bean bags, while learning how to pass along and follow directions.

 

 

Morah Ellisheva led the Tefillah. 

 

Yakir showed us that he could make more bubbles when the hose was held higher,

 than lower.

"The Colors Around Us"  

 

Chaya'la seeing the class as blue as the sky.

 

 Elet thought that the blue was funny.

 

Yakir saw everything orange when he put together the orange and red disks.

 

Chaya'la saw everything purple when he put together the blue and red disks.

 

Chaya'la took torahtot from the Aaron Hakodesh.

 

 

The children sorted the colorful recycling materials from a center.

The children decided to use pine leaves as paintbrushes. This group does not like to get dirty.

 

After  looking at colors through light the children had an idea the how to mix colors.

 

 First they mixed blue and red.

 

Yellow and blue ...

 

and red and yellow.

 

The children were intrigued with the colorful translucent  disks.

 

Chaya'la found out she could make colorful shadows.

 

 

 

 

We decided to plant a piece of the fern growing outside, to see if it can grow inside.
