This past week we did experiments with colour mixing in a tub of water, this was beautiful to see, colours dropped into a tub of water and then slowly mixing together… Red and blue becoming purple etc…
Jenna’s painting of the colour wheel…
We have been learning about weather, this a Barometer that Erin made to measure air pressure. It is so easy to make, stretch a balloon over the top of an open tin can, put a little vaseline around the top to enable the balloon to move and then put an elastic band around the balloon. Tape a straw to the middle of the balloon. Put a piece of cardboard next to the can with high at the top and low below. Now you will be able to tell when you will have fine weather and when you will have rainy weather. AND it really works!
Jenna and Erin’s needlepoint. This was such a fun project for the girls… They drew a picture on paper, transferred it to their callico and then embroidered around their drawing…
I love the studies with color and the needlepoint is just wonderful!
Wow, what lovely things you do with your kids!! Hope you are having a great weekend, the weather is nice and cool this weekend. Lovely for knitting!!
Oh … I love these pictures! Gorgeous colors. And that sweet little needlepoint 🙂 So sweet & simple.
That barometer is brilliant! We definitely will need to try this!
Wow! That color thing is intriguing. So awesome! And the embroidery is simply superb.
Oh, so much fun learning is going on at your home!
My middle daughter Katie has been busy with embroidery, too. I love watching the creativity become something so pretty!
Way to go on the color wheel and barometer, too. We love experiments and art work here. 😉
The colors mixing together underwater is incredibly beautiful! I would love to know more about what you used for this experiment, my kids would really love this! The color wheel painting is gorgeous as well!
My children are starting to enjoy embroidery, we just did some today! Such a relaxing process for little hands, your girls did a beautiful job! I love the mushrooms : )
Those first two pictures of the color mixing in the water are so pretty!
Erin and Jenna’s embroidery is so pretty! That is something I want to do more of. Have a great week, Linda!
Hello Linds
Wow, you have captured those colours mixing so beautifully. Studying the weather really is so interesting. I am having fun doing it with Aaron too. Jen and Erie really do have crafting talent. The embroidery is beautiful.
Have a great day
