Letter W (Day 4) - Water Activities: Waterfall Painting, Water Balloon Shapes & Baseball, Pool Noodle Water Wall
Waterfall Painting: I've wanted to try "drip painting" for a while, so this Waterfall Painting Tutorial from teaching 2 and 3 year olds was perfect. Here's what you need:
Water Balloon Shapes & Water Balloon Baseball: I saw Water Balloon Numbers on the measured mom blog. We already did a number activity this week, so I thought water balloons would be a fun way to review shapes. I drew shapes on our driveway with sidewalk chalk and filled up our Buncho Balloons from the grocery store - there is no tying involved and you can have 100 balloons filled in a minute (see first picture below)! I would call out a shape and Easton would find and throw the balloon at the shape. We had so many balloons, we decided to play Water Balloon Baseball afterward. What a fun afternoon!
Pool Noodle Water Wall: I saw a Pool Noodle Water Wall on Teaching Mama, and knew we had to try it! We added a few other things to make it our own. Here's what you need:
- White Foam Board (dollar store)
- Pipettes
- Liquid Watercolors
- Plastic Containers - to hold the paint
