Liquid watercolors are something I've wanted to check out for a while now but I never wanted to spend the money on them so the other day I made my own. My husband cracked open a few markers and we let the insides soak overnight. L is really into spray bottles lately so yesterday I set him up with some spray bottles of liquid watercolors and some paper outside. He loved it, he sprayed the papers, his pumpkins, his sandbox and a big white sheet I laid out in the backyard. The painting turned out really cool looking.
I have also recently decided to make his sensory materials more available to him so we spent this morning playing in the sensory bin. First he wanted to play with the polyfil pellets. Plenty of scooping and pouring going on.
Next, he chose the green sand. I jumped in on this one and together we put sand through the funnel and he really seemed to like watching it funnel through.
Next he wanted water beads. He really enjoyed swishing them around. He also had to jump into the bin for the full water bead experience lol.
Shortly after that he found a bottle of glue I bought for him the other day and I explained how glue worked to him. His first experience with glue went great! I started him out with colored cotton balls and I may introduce glitter to him tomorrow.
Then he wanted more liquid watercolor play. I pulled out the spray bottles from yesterday but I also added in some cups of the watercolors and an old medicine dropper. He loved using the medicine dropper!
