making messes.. and cleaning them up

we made straw-blueberry muffins...
and play dough!
the kids love being in charge of pouring their own water. rather than pouring to the brim of their cup, everyone has learned how to pour only what they intend on drinking.

our nature scavenger hunt at prospect park...

outdoor explorations...

we brought tongs outside to pick up garbage on our way to the park. it brought on a discussion about natural versus man-made objects...

painting...

we studied wassily kandinsky's squares with concentric rings and afterwards made our own!

measuring...

our trip to the aquarium!
