An interesting mix of play dough, tin foil cruppling, plaster - MESS!!!, and ice sculptures. I spent all week trying to freeze ice outside but had no luck at all, did anyone know that it isn't freezing outside? So I managed to get some smaller sizes of colored ice frozen and put the ice and salt theory to the test. It worked kind of. I think maybe those experiments work better when it is outside with still freezing conditions? In the end we had a lot of colored fingers!
I also thought that by putting plaster in zip lock bags and molding inside the bag would be awesome for mess and for those kids that do not like the feeling of mucky stuff between their fingers. BUT my plaster mixing techniques are not the best and well majority agreed that paper plates, plaster, and sticking things inside worked better.
Play dough was a hit as always. Who doesn't love playdough?
I also had a table filled with different things that the kids could stick into a flower arranging foam. That was a pretty big hit with the kids. The am group stuffed their foam blocks with as much as they could. The pm kids cut their blocks up with scissors and made animals out of them. Very cool.
I tried a few other ideas that were just interesting to see what would happen. Thanks again to everyone for coming out and sculpting! Hope to see you next week for some more silly fun!
