This week we celebrated the wee bit of Irish that just may be in all of us!  We had fun mixing colors to make green and using that  color in art and cooking.  By the way, you mix blue with yellow to make green ;)

At the beginning of the week, they made green shamrocks.  They were each given a baggie with equal parts of glue and shaving cream.  I added blue and yellow water colors.  The baggie was sealed and the children used their fingers to "mix" the paint while it was in the bag. Notice the different techniques in mixing the colors!  :)

 

 

Once they got a desired color of green.  They squeeeezed it out of the bag onto a shamrock shape and spread it around with a spoon, and finally sprinkled on glitter! They got lots of practice using their fine motor skills with this activity.

 

 

 

                                              Finished projects with our leprechaun!

 

They also made green pudding this week!  It took several steps to make the pudding and everyone gladly chipped in to help. 

 

 

 

First they had to dump in the pudding mix.

 

 

 

 

Next they added the milk....................

 

 

And then you stir.............

 

 

 

We wanted to make green pudding and since our pudding was already yellow all we had to do was add blue food color and stir, and stir and stir some more :)

 

    Guess, she thinks this will take forever! 

 

 They finally got it all mixed together.  I put it in the fridge to chill.  When we got back in from the playground, we were ready for our green pudding.  For extra fun, we added a Keebler Elf cookie!
