Rainbow Colored Flowers Experiment

Mom came up with this one.
I'll keep updating on how the flower look day to day.
Just in case no one has heard of this before I don't want to share what happen at the top of the post.

I did mine in rainbow but you can do this in one color or two. You can do that to match a wedding or party. I would start it about a week before tho so it has plenty of time to work.

What you will need.
Jars , vase , cups, ( I used all 3 )
food coloring ( I used about 10 drops of each color. I wanted it strong )
Water
White Flowers

What to do.
1.Fill the jars up with water.
2. Put in the food coloring..                
3 Cut off the flowers and make sure to slant them.
4. Put them into the jars and just leave them there till you get the color you want. 

I didn't use all of my flowers but the rest I am going to plant outside.

Day 1




Day 3 you can see how the flower is starting to change colors.

Pool Play

Yesterday was so hot outside. Nita really wanted to play in the cool water with the boys so we got out Eli's kiddy pool. Now as you can see it' just a small little pool that we got last year for the boys for like $15. I was hoping there wouldn't be any holes in it and much to my surprise there wasn't. The pool is still standing today so it still holds air pretty well.

Blue water sensory bin

I took Eli (14 months ) and Ray ( 10 years ) out to play on Tuesday the 19th because it was a very nice day out and I wanted them to get some sun instead of being stuck inside all day. 
I made this pretty cool Blue water sensory bin for them to play with and they loved it.

What I used.
Water dyed blue with food coloring
Blue plastic toys
Blue fish tank rocks ( I got mine from Dollar Tree )
Cookie cutters ( from the $1 part of Target )
Blocks 
sponges

The boys spent over 30mins playing with this and yes Eli had to get in the water haha it was okay. 
They used the sponges to make water marks on the side walk. We also took out some bubbles and played with those about another 30mins. 










We did this before they got dressed for the day so yes they are in night clothes

You can see what else we've done for Blue week here
