St Patrick's Day

We made wee little leprechauns this morning.  Just the right size to hold in your fist.

They are made by painting old fashion clothespegs green, gluing on red yarn hair and twisting pipecleaners for arms and one for the hat.

We got our hands all messy when making Irish Soda Bread.

We enjoyed a special snack with Lucky Charms.

While we were at gym a sneaky Leprechaun showed up and made a mess of our room.  We knew it was a leprechaun because we found footprints from the paint across the art table.

But no matter how much we searched at the end of all the rainbows in our room we couldn't find a pot of gold.

Happy St. Pat's Day To You

Rarin' to go this morning with rainbow cookies, gold pieces and a great story to tell.

May the luck of the Irish be with you all day.

Rainbows throughout our Room

Our room is filled with colours - rainbow colours.  Let me show you a few.

Rainbow jars with a carnation experiment.

Rainbow ribbon rings that we use to sing our song "I Can Sing a Rainbow" or just play with them.

At the light table, rainbow arcs, coloured lenses, tubes with coloured filter paper on one end to shine a flashlight through.

Sensory table with rainbow pasta, leprechaun hats and pipe cleaners.

These little people each have their own rainbow pad (upside down cd).  The cd also makes a great spinner.

At the art table we used eye droppers and spray bottles with food colouring to make rainbows.

This little guy is trying to figure out how to fill the eye dropper with the spray bottle.
