Happy Easter!!

We had a very busy short week!
Take a look at a few things that happened!
Baby Kade came on Wednesday- he has more teeth and he can move!!
Ask your child how he likes to move to get to a toy, below he is checking out Baby Dani - our Roots of Empathy doll.
This week we also talked about Palm branches and Easter.
 We also have some mystery seed pods. No one knows what they are from yet.
With Easter approaching, we decided to try an egg-speriment!!
Below we used 3 raw- uncooked eggs and added vinegar and a few drops of food colouring.
 
 Within a few minutes something started to happen!!
 Ask your child what they saw. 
 
This is what we could see by the end of the
day.
 They grew and there's lots of bubbles around them.
The next day we changed the vinegar and added some more food colour except the green one- just vinegar to see if it made a difference.
 Ask your child what they observed and felt when the eggs were taken out to change the vinegar.
We will see what happens over the weekend!
 
 We also mixed up some chalk.
We used Plaster of Paris, powdered Tempera paint and water.
 Then mixed it up.
 
 It was very stiff once mixed.
 Then we filled plastic eggs and put them on the heater. At the end of the day we used a butter knife to crack the plastic open and found an egg shape- it needed more time to dry completely for a sidewalk chalk egg!!
Happy Easter!
