every day is a new adventure

Graham is really into these funky squishy balls lately, he put two of them on the light table.

Garland is in sensory heaven crouching in the coffee beans bin, so fun!

Playdough time!!  Graham is making sculptures in containers with feathers, he says it is like the container ponds we set up outside!!  So cute!!

Dr Parker and the playdough jamboree ;)

working hard on his "pond replica"

fun stuff!

working on another sculpture with the feathers

Dr Parker is giving Graham an impromptu exam during playdough time! haha

Parker decided to make his own pond replica, like Graham!

Garland is very intrigued by the alphabet pops!

;)

She wanted to use the mirror, so we moved her to the light tables where the mirror is ;) 
sluuuurp, she was making hilarious slurping sounds and pretending to eat the alphabet popscicles! Hey that's a pretty good imagination for having Autism!!



magnets meet coffee beans


digging to capture magnets on the wands!

got some!


so pretty on the light table, making sculptures with crystal climbers and crystal connectors 

The ball run seems to make a great car ramp for LED LIGHTS!

They are using LED finger lights as cars!! so cool!!


experiments and crafts at the Science Center

Garland bouncing the ball so precisely (in her playroom)

our sandbox of 3 years is now our new fish pond, we retired the round tubs

we added two koi!

I made a rainbow arch for the kids, they love running through it, I plan to add to it!!

Our NEW sandbox is a pool! They LOVE IT and call it their beach!!

I did some rearranging in the backyard play environment!

Paint, Bounce, & Explore

 Graham and Parker have been inventing their own games lately. Here are two from yesterday!
Body Bounce Painting & Sink or Float Submarine

Being super cute


Parker's own invention....  Body Bounce Painting.  He got out the bottles of tempera paint, squired different colors on to the trampoline, then began bouncing, bouncing on his but, rolling, and running through the paint!

Fun and good creativity!!

Feeding the fish

pouring colored water

twisting the lid on

teamwork

Graham decided to test out the action figures to see if they would sink or float

The green man floats, the little man at the bottom sunk
