Have you ever experimented with making your own paint? That's something that happens very often in our house 😀. We try all different kind of things........ Today's experiment was with Hand Soap and Food coloring. Turned out great though. The soap added a nice scent to the paint. Worked great and washed out very easily. All we did was pour hand soap in our pain trays, add a few drops of food dye and mix well. Paint had a nice glossy shine to it. And we tested it out by painting a Fall scene.

Matter of Fact; most of our learning is through play. We use games and quizzes for all of our lessons. We hike through out neighborhood and the lil bit of parks that we have, talking about every thing we see/observe, and more...
