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!

Scented experiments

I added some scent to some of our routine backyard science geared fun!

IN the pics are ice, sea salt, food coloring, baking soda, vinegar, orange extract for scent,  coffee beans, lemons, and various kitchen utensils we have in the yard, measuring cups, etc. We also are starting some water bead squares in the water tables to watch them grow throughout the day outdoors, rather than how we usually grow them overnight inside.

orange extract, sea salt, ice, food coloring, and tongs!

orange scented volcano fun!!

pouring coffee beans over his face into the bin.. mmmm smells so good Mom!!

tasting a bean....hmm  tastes bitter..... (they spit the bean out after)

almost to two cups!!

transporting lemons with tongs = fun!!

Hey, cut that out Parker!

growing square water beads outside for a change!
