The World is a Rainbow

The pre-k children have been engaged in a color exploration unit for the past two weeks. We have read many color stories and poems, and have been having so much fun exploring a 
variety of art materials as we learn more about 
the world of color and color mixing.
The full-day students have participated in a 
few extension activities and experiments.

Painting and mixing colors at the easel is always a thrill.

Experimenting with colors at the 
WONDER table and the light table.

Practicing cutting skills and creating sticky tape collages.

 

Growing water beads and learning about absorption.

Start with dry orbeez.

Add water and wait.

Building a calming jar with the fat, water logged water beads.

Using a fun tool called a funnel.

Sorting colors in the sensory table.

Experimenting with paint dot bottles.

Doing cool color experiments like this walking rainbow.

 The liquid was being absorbed into the paper toweling.

WOW!!
Do you see the orange and the blue?
Ask your child HOW this happened.

 Thank you, God for beautiful colors to fill our world
and for our eyes to see them.
