Turn on the Water Works

Okay, this really shouldn't make you cry. These silly boys of mine have had some fun playing in the water this week. On Sunday we did a Sink or Float Experiment. I filled a plastic tub with water and gave the boys a variety of items to put in. Before they could drop their item they had to guess if it would sink or float. I gave them things like plastic army men, coins, balls, potatoes, etc. They had a blast.






Next, today we "fished" for letters and numbers. I made make-shift fishing poles with woodenspoons and magnets and the boys fished out magnetic letters and numbers from my bathtub.Again, it was a big hit! I had Connor tell me the letters he was picking up and he probably gotabout half of them right!






Now I want to clarify that I did not come up with this idea on my own. I only wish I were so creative. I found it on Pinterest.
