So, in an effort to make up for the lost learning experiences he was getting at the Goddard School (and assuage some of my guilt) I try to provide some school like activities for him at home. It's one of the reasons I bought the easel. My activities are probably not as well thought out and sometimes they're just simple art projects, but he seems to really enjoy them. The twins nap each day for an hour or two so that gives us some quiet time to do something one-on-one. (The rest of the day is like a bloody circus.)
Which brings us to yesterday's experiment: mixing colors. Basically, I filled up a bunch of little plastic containers with water and a couple drops of red, blue or yellow food coloring. Then I let Jameson mix them however he wanted. He loved it. And he learned a few things, too. He discovered what primary colors are and what a hypothesis is. And he wants to do it again today. Edutainment FTW.
