Box Theme
One of the best books! Imagine all the things you can do with a box? I thought about building blocks for this week's activities - lots of fun ways to make cubes.
Jello Blocks
Make the Jello using the Jigglers Recipe
12oz mix, 2.5 cups boiling water
Cut into shapes once set
Chia Slime Blocks
1/4 C chia seeds, 2 C water (add food coloring to water)
soak overnight
Freeze into cubes
(I didn't take them out soon enough so they stayed harder than I wanted, I think 2-3 hours before using would let them warm up enough to be a bit more slimey)
Unifix Cubes
some kids mixed them in bowls
some stacked them to make towers
Cardboard Packaging
I hid dinosaurs in the bin which was a fun "hunt"
Just really cool packaging material I wanted to try out - kids seemed to like it!
Painting Ice
Just some ice cubes and paint; it's fun to see how it changes as the ice melts
Boxes!
Tons of boxes I thought they might stack and build with, but, all they wanted to do was paint them!
