Rainbow Jell-O and Sunflower Hands


So this is to wrap up the last post. I took pictures of the rainbow jello last week and just got a chance to upload them today. The jello I got a chance to take pictures of did not come out right. As you can tell the red, orange and yellow ran together thanks to the quick set method not quick setting :), but you get the idea.


Here is an idea I came up with on the way to school yesterday morning. I can't take all the credit I am sure I just put several different activities together or I saw it somewhere and just forgot. But I thought it was pretty cool and very process oriented. While doing the project with my class we talked about the shape of the paper plate, the color we painted it, the position we glued the plate to the paper, the position of the stem and on and on and on.... You get the picture. We also worked on fine motor skills like picking up the sunflower seeds (pincer grasp) and squeezing the glue. I love art projects like that. Lots of language for my little kiddos! Fun Fun Stuff!
