Rainbow Snakes ~ A magical way to experiment with color mixing!

Color Mixing Experiment for Kindergarten ~ Rainbow Snakes

ByJessie

I absolutely love how curious kids are by nature. When they are little everything is so fascinating and exciting! That is why I love the activity I’m sharing with you today. It teaches color mixing in a hands-on and “magical” way that my kiddo couldn’t get enough of.

Now let me give you a little warning up front. This activity can be messy, but with the right preparation, it’s really not too bad. Besides, I think that kids should get to make a mess once in a while. It’s more fun that way, right?

Cupid Counting Printable – Get Ready for Valentine’s Day! (she: Liz)

ByLiz

My kindergartner is just starting to learn math facts. So far she is doing really well and has caught on quickly. I thought it would be fun to create a math fact sheet centering around Valentine’s Day. So cupid counting was created. I wanted to create something that could be used over and over again and help understanding the various combinations in adding up to different numbers.

I’m always wanting to make learning fun and interesting so my son will actually get through it without complaining.

Since he does enjoy math, I decided to come up with some printable math worksheets we could do this summer.
