Another Pinterest favourite - but I decided I'd try using muffin trays so there was more space for the little explosions.
What I did:
1. Asher helped me pour vinegar into patty cakes then we dropped food colouring in each.
2. Then he poured bi-carb into each muffin tray {lots of spills but doesn't matter!}
3. He knew what was going to happen as we've done variations of this before so thought he'd just pour all the vinegar in at once. I coaxed him to use the little droplet so the 'game' would last longer. He loved it!
4. Then he went on to mix colours at first accidently and then on purpose - 'look mummy, purple!' so we were able to talk about what colours do when combined.
You will see we do most things on top of the kitchen bench - to be out of reach of baby boy. I really don't mind and the clean up is pretty minimal.
There is another blog I really like reading - mud hut mama. I don't know how to insert theseblogs as a link II'm sure I'll be interested in figuring it out one day...anyways she home schools her 2 and 3 year old girls. I love her simple ideas and totally can see what we do here at home as similar. She really just does everyday stuff and has a basic curriculum that she wanted to follow. I've somewhat copied her idea for the boys and its so satisfying to know that I'm actually teaching them.
Well right now its 4:30pm and we have turned the tv on for the first time today. Play school! The best interactive version of home schooling haha :)
