Water Beads in the Dark

T his is what those little lights look like in the water table at night.
The kids had so much fun filling and pouring and just exploring the waterbeads in the dark with the little lights
These are my new favorite things

Water Beads, Light and Feet

We added water beads to the small water table. I did not anticipate the foot exploration although I do see the appeal and we went with it.
I had little water proof lights the kids could shine into the beads to explore the translucency and color
We also had a sifter
For scooping and exploring the beads

Mikey started out with his hands but the draw was to strong he had to use his feet
I have a basket hanging for our slime exploration it worked great for the water beads too though
Light. beads and bugs
It all started with these stretchy bugs they were on sale with the after Easter stuff for 50 cents a pack so I had to think of something fun to go along with them. And then I thought water beads. What a winning combination.

Sink or Float

the kids collected things from around the house and backyard.
There only instructions were to pick something and say if they think it will sink or float. I logged their perdictions and then we took everything to the water table to see if their perdictions were correct.
They tested all the items and were mostly right
they used their magnifying glasses both while observing the items to see if they sank or float and also while choosing their items and making their hypothesis.
This was a lot of fun the kids enjoyed it and want to do it again. It was interesting to see their reactions when things did not go as planed (i.e. they predicted this would float but it did not) they both would inspect the item and try and decide why it did not do as they had thought.

Sensory Table- Faerie Garden

we started the box with a few empty branches and some Spanish moss
Kaia added her faerie house we had made previously
plus some Rocks, buttons and ribbons

When Kaia was done this is what it looked like
Mikey made his own faerie house
Tying ribbon to the archway
putting in a blanket for the faeries
Kaia adding flowers to the sticks
Ready for the faeries to visit
When Kaia woke up she found that the faeries had indeed visit
She found faeries in the box!
They had brought her gifts
including wings, faerie sparkles and a purse for her faerie dust

When Kaia woke up from her nap she found that the faeries had come to see her faerie garden
They were hiding
