Paint Samples and Silly Bandz

Here's a fun sorting activity that is cheap and easy to put together.

Grab some paint samples from your local hardware store. (I laminated mine).

Pick up silly bandz. I've noticed them on clearance at a lot of stores. Even if they're not on sale, they're very affordable. I found these princess shaped rings at my grocery store for $0.79 each!

Now let them sort! 

We sorted by color.

And we sorted by shape.

Happy Sorting!

green

I realized that I forgot to share what I did for the color green. 

Here you go....

We went on a green scavenger hunt.

Little Miss found:

GRASS

(putting things in her green container)

green twig branches, the bottom of a green celery

Now to the fun part! We gathered all of our green things and our paints... 

...and painted using our green items as "brushes". 

Celery stamping makes some pretty awesome designs!

For snack we had vanilla yogurt and made swirls with green food coloring.

DIY Magnetic Alphabet

Ever get bored of the same old magnetic letters you find?

I was. I decided to make my own using cute stickers. I put the stickers in the laminating pockets, ran them through my laminator, cut them out and added adhesive magnets to the back.

These are so much cuter!
