Colored Ice

Pouring water into the ice cube trays

Trying to squeeze....gently...the food coloring into the trays.

Very focused face! lol

We talked about what color each piece of ice was...if it was wet or dry...if it was hot or cold...liquid to a solid then solid to a liquid...and melting.

Of course Caden had to line them up! lol

I got this idea from The Ramblings of a Crazy Women.  They actually made boats out of their ice, which is such a cute idea.  When we were making the ice we were kind of rushed and I did not get to put the toothpicks in.  We will definitely have to try it next time because he really loved playing with the ice.  

I Know a Rhino-White Mud

Grating the soap...I took a quick picture...he wasn't interested in this part.

Pouring the grated soap in.

Pouring the water...he poured too.

Fun playing in the White Mud!

We are now reading I Know a Rhino.  Our first lesson from The Itty-Bitty Bookworm was to make White Mud.  At first Caden wasn't interested...not even interested in grating the soap.  He was more interested in pouring the water into the mixture.  Once we got to that part in the directions he was hooked.

Caden loved for me to build the white mud up into a pile and being the boy he is he wanted to knock it down.  At first he was kind of weirded out by the texture, but after I showed him all the things he could do with it, he enjoyed himself.  The recipe came from familyfun.go.com.

Tea set

My sweet little girl!

Caden's tea set

I thought this was a cute picture of the two!

Last week I found a tea party set at Target in the dollar section.  Lucky me because in our    Itty-Bitty Bookworm lesson our group activity is to have a Tea Party.  So today I just let Caden explore with the tea set.  He loved pouring the tea (water) into the cups.  He played for about 30 minutes.
