Volcano Egg Painting for Easter!

Erupting Eggs in Creative Arts!
Picture
I was bored with the typical Easter Egg coloring methods....BORED!  

Is that a terrible admission? 

 Teaching preschoolers is my passion.  I have been at "my passion" for over 10 years and when holidays roll around and the "typical" crafts to go along with it, I am less than enthused (insert sigh...)  If you are the parent of more than one little one, I am certain you can share my sentiment.

I originally ran across this idea when looking into some letter "V" activities on several other blog sites.

Here and Here

When I ran across Dinosaur Eggs I KNEW I would have a major hit on my hands!  These kiddos LOVE everything messy, everything fizzy, everything creative!

Set up was easy, clean up was a breeze, but the place did smell like Easter for a few days because when you have 10 children coloring eggs it takes a TON of vinegar!

THAT LOOK! This little guy is a HANDS ON learner!! I allowed the children to mix all their own ingredients. I simply provided the baking soda, vinegar, and food colors with appropriate clothing and let them create, mix, and observe the show! Here he has just dipped his paintbrush into the vinegar and baking soda, then colors and it watching it erupt at the end of his paintbrush. Sensory, Creative Arts, Science...all rolled into FUN!!!
Picture
Here is how we started. One hard boiled egg with baking soda underneath. I put red, yellow, blue, green drops of food coloring in four corners of the bowl. In a separate bowl, I put the vinegar and each child received their own egg, baking soda bowl, and vinegar bowl!

Seriously this easy!

Here is the actual fizzing action taking place. Dip in vinegar, dip in baking soda/food coloring.
Fizzy fun that resulted in questions, observations, color mixing, and LOTS of colorful eggs.  Perfect for pre-k!! 

I wish you well and I hope you get to play today!

I am looking for bids for a small fence relocation job for our play yard. 

I want to extend the space west by about 25' and north by about 15'.  I will purchase all the materials and am only looking for someone that can bid the labor.

Please contact me at 417-742-3519 to schedule a time to bid.  I will not take drop-ins.

Thank you!

What Our Clients Are Saying

My husband and I both work full time and during the year 2011 we needed a child care provider for our five year old daughter and our 20 month old son. I am a Special Education Teacher for the Willard RII district in Missouri. I found LaDonna Woolsey on the internet while searching for a child care provider.  I had called numerous places and never felt comfortable with any of them to even make an appointment to meet them in person. I called LaDonna, and almost immediately after the conversation started, I felt a sense of relief and made an appointment to check out her daycare in person, the following day.  When I saw her facility I was absolutely amazed. LaDonna answered all of my nervous mom questions and watching her interact with the children made me realize I had found the perfect person to watch my children during the day. She started providing Child Care services for my children immediately... - Lisa Lassley - Special Education Teacher for the Willard RII
