Messy Play

So the other day I let the kids have time to experiment around a bit. I mixed some corn-starch with water. This stuff is fun to play with as if you move your finger through slowly it is liquid but if you try to do the same thing fast it is solid. So it is grate for the kids to experiment with. At first I let them play with the plain white mixture.

Afterwards I let them choose 2 colours to put into there one.

When ever they wanted more colours I asked them what they think was going to happen. And just let them play. I think they played for over an hour before they got board with it.

At some point Miss Mar noticed she can roll it into a ball, Mr Mar Jr was doing little snake type things.

Then when they stop rolling the mixture they let it run between there fingers.

They played for over an hour with this mixture. To keep it a bit contained I put the mixture on baking trys. It still put corn-starch all over the place but defiantly kept it more confined.

Back to school

I am always looking for good friendship books, but they end up having cheesy questions like why do you like horses, who is to say everyone likes horses. So I am making a customized one for Miss Mar, its just a matter of finding the correct format and having photos. Also she is going to a bilingual school so I wanted to make the book in both English and German. So we went out and took some photos then ate ice-crème. It was also the first time I really shot in raw format, and all I can say is I LOVE IT, it made editing so much easer.

School starts for Miss Mar in 2 weeks here and I want to put her friendship book in her sugar bag (as I have found out they are called in English). When kids have there first day at school here they get a cone filled with sweets and other things, we are putting in her friendship book and anther little book about her first day/year at school for her to fill out.

And before we went home ICE CREME
