Our Classroom

I'm a firm believer that the world is our classroom, but here is our main space that is confined by walls:

It has been awhile since I took photos of our main play/classroom.
I figured that since I spent the better part of the weekend reorganizing it to fit the new chalkboard writing desk/center that we upcycled from a crib, now would be a great time to take and post some photos.

Amy,
This space is bursting with interesting, amazing looking activities. I noticed that the lego table is put to good use, and several familiar, good toys all children enjoy.
As well it looks like a space that is meant to be played in.There is obviously lots of learning going on here.

I'm going next to look at your outdoor space as well, as I haven't been reading blogs this summer, so I'm looking forward to seeing all your creativity.

What Would You Do With It? Wednesday #4, Cardboard Tubes (Toilet Paper, Paper Towel, etc)

Welcome to this week's edition of What Would You Do With It? Wednesday. This week's item(s) are paper tubes. You most often find them at the end of a roll of toilet paper or paper toweling. I'm having trouble hunting up the photos I was going to post for this, so when I find them, I will add them. We have made: rain sticks kaleidoscopes marble runs and we have also cut the tubes and made them into flowers or snowflakes like these. If you would like to visit and link to some of our previous What Would You Do With It Wednesdays, please click here.

Making Moon Mud!

We usually make our moon sand with cornstarch , sand, and baby oil. However a blog reader commented that when they make their moon sand- they use water instead of oil.  So, of course, my first thought was- why make moon sand when you could make MOON MUD?  And so you have it- our homemade moon mud! Basically, it ends up being a sandy- runny oobleck! It acts kind of like a solid- and kind of like a liquid..... Now, I'm sure I will get all kinds of questions on the exact recipe and proportions to make this stuff.....  The truth is, we rarely measure. We just mix it up until it looks and feels about right! Today, we made ours with too much water. (It was an experiment.) So, we removed some off the top.  After we were done playing in the mud- we let it sit. A little bit more of the water evaporated while we napped.... Then, this afternoon- It was perfect! Hard as a rock on the bottom, until you dig into grab it... Then....
