Dyed beans and noodles

Over the weekend Selah and I had some fun dyeing beans and noodles. There are several different ways to do this but the way we did this was:

in a bowl add water, white vinegar and food coloring

stir every 15 minutes for about 2 hours

then spread on a pan and put in the oven on a lower temp for about 10-15 minutes

take off the tray and spread out and keep out over night to continue to let them air dry.

That looks so pretty!

Are you excited looking at all of this... imagine all the fun stuff we can do with this! :)

They kinda looked like jelly beans... make sure if you do this you reinforce them that this is not something to eat!

Stay tuned for our projects! :)

The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game. Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory. Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not). Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Book Review: "God I feel Scared"

Kids have big feelings, but none of their feelings are too big for God. In this picture book from licensed counselor Michelle Nietert and Tama Fortner, young readers will explore what it means to feel scared and discover how to manage their emotions in a healthy way.
