Yellow and Orange Days

So I know the title says "day" but if you look closely at what the boys are waering in the pictures, you'll notice that sometimes, it's really "days!"

Yellow day began with a project that practiced the fine motor skills of cutting and glueing. The boys cut small strips of yellow paper and glued them to a long piece of black paper - this was our road.

Then they peeled and placed yellow stickers (a gift from my cousin Dan's wife Ginger and a big hit!) on their road.

Another day found us making sun masks. The boys paiting a paper plate yellow, more fine motor practice and expeience with paint and paintbrushes.

You are my sunshine!

Moving onto orange day, we started by making orange fish with paper plates. The boys each painted two paper plates orange.

After the plates were dry, Daddy cut them and stapled fins on to make fish shapes.

Then the boys picked up and glued on (more fine motor practice) a google eye, orange beads of various sizes and an orange feather and pom pom ball.

Showing off their projects!

Time for oobleck!

First measure 1 and 1/2 cups corn starch.

Then add 1 cup water - ours was dyed orange.

Mix together carefully, adding more corn starch if needed.

The play and get messy!!

I realize this post is a bit technical in its description, but that's the teacher in me coming out!!
