| What kid doesn't love to play with their food? |
Ms. Serafin came up with this one herself. In order to get breakfast going I wanted to have the kiddos distracted with something. While Silas got a cupcake tin full of cheerios to sort (and munch on), the little Ms. got something a little more complicated. Since I know she loves experimenting with color I decided to let her play with her own cupcake tin full of water and food coloring.

| Hard at work |
I gave her a dropper and an egg carton filled with baking soda (why the heck not?). I didn't really have anything in mind, but I figure she could get busy doing whatever she wanted with said tools and I could get the morning going. 20 minutes later she comes up to me and hands me the egg carton full of mixed colors and says, "I want to see what happens when I freeze it." Ok.

| Let's put it in the freezer! |
So, after sitting in sub-zero for about 3 hours, we pull it out and notice each color has become a sort of hard and colorful (all be it a bit crumbly) pellet. Of course with my Pinterest addicted brain, a bazillion different activities shot through my head; there are soooooo many possibilities and creations we could make with these small and colorful icy rocks (fairy dust for the fairy portal, mash em up and spread them all over paper, add vinegar, smear them into a rock). But I had to stand aside and let the kiddo create. And what did my sweet little nature girl want to do? She wanted to set them on a rock "for the birds to look at". I love that girl so much! Her cuteness makes me want to squeeze her till she pops sometimes!

PS
Have leftover food coloring? Throw those in the freezer too! They will make another creative project for another day!
