They did some more painting after painting their handprints!

Then they just started making a mess!

A few pictures from a Sunday at Nonna's house....

Lee took this pic of little brother. I guess he wasn't very amused?

He also got a few pics of the Wiggles...though he doesn't really like them (so he says)

Can i get a hug?....

I guess not!

They had a fun day!

It's The Bahamas' 38th Birthday!

It's not always fun living on an island. No right to your door delivery, No real mall, Not as many homeschoolers, ...i can go on.

But it also has it's perks! Beautiful beaches, clean air, slower paced lifestyle....i can go on :)

Happy Independence Day!

Cornstarch

After adding the cold water

After mixing it

When we added the boiling water it turned kind of gelatinous and clear!

In the jars ready for coloring! I didn't get a pic of the coloring process, but it's really easy! I added 4 drops of gel food coloring to each jar, in different colors. I used red, black, yellow and blue.

All done and ready to paint!

In honor of Independence Day (July 10th), today we made a Bahamian Flag and sponge painted using black, blue and yellow paints. We used our homemade paints and they worked great!

Lee's Bahamian flag. Later on we added a Popsicle stick to the side!

Getting started on their paintings!

Little Brother had to try it out. No worries, it's non toxic, and totally safe!

Then he tried a little more! I love how kids learn using their senses...not only did he have to touch the paint, he also had to taste it, and i guess smell it at the same time!

Having fun!

While waiting for their masterpieces to dry, they....got a bath....

and patiently waited on their snack....

oranges!

And played Garbage truck!

The finished pieces!

Beautiful Sunset.
