EXPLORING THE SCIENCE THAT IS ALL AROUND US
USING YOUR SENSES TO EXPLORE SCIENCE
The early 3’s had some cold hands after building in the snow this afternoon! Emma and Parker worked hard at making their very own “snow cake” with candles on top! Parker even said “we made a snow cake because birthday cakes make people happy.” What sweet kids we have here at Creative Tots!=)
This morning the kids were busy practicing their scissor skills at the sensory table. They loved being able to cut the paper into little pieces to fill the sensory table!
This week the kids have been exploring moon sand in the sensory table! The moon sand is special because it can be underwater without getting wet! They really enjoyed squeezing it and driving their space cars in it.
This month we are exploring the forest and talking about where bears hibernate. The kids were having fun building tall trees in the forest and letting the forest animals create their homes in the cold winter snow! 
Looking for some winter day fun over the holiday vacation? Once the first snow hits, this will be a great snowy day activity.
What is it? An art project involving icicles and frozen blocks of colored ice
What will I need? Food coloring, water, ice trays, molds, muffin tins and other containers
You can’t have as much snow as we do and not have an abundance of icicles. We decided to incorporate some of ours into a sculpture, joining them to ice blocks made by freezing colored water in ice-cube trays, Jell-O molds and yogurt containers. We placed all the materials on an outdoor table, and everyone took turns building totem poles, monsters and free-form sculptures, gluing the blocks of ice with a little dribble of water (it quickly froze).
Helpful Hint: For consistency of hardness, consider making your colored blocks in the freezer rather than outdoors.
We encourage you to participate – Thank you for your comments. We love to hear from all of you!
