This week was full of fun as we experimented with mixing colors. We created colorful snacks (a hands-on favorite!) and learned all about the color wheel through engaging activities.
Our favorite books this week were the wonderfully interactive "Mix It Up!"
and the classic "Mouse Paint"

What a nice surprise!
A local family blessed us by passing on their handmade wooden block set, and our group has enjoyed exploring the different shapes and building a variety of structures.

We felt and shook the bags, trying to guess what item was inside of each one. Our predictions were recorded. Then we opened the bags:

Photo Update - Wrapping Up 2012
My husband designed the new train seats in the Children's area at the county library:
Below are some final random photos for the year, including the first day of school for our older elementary students and a field trip to Old Man's Cave to see a program by Naturalist Pat Quackenbush.
I was impressed to learn that three children from our group had all been honored by their elementary school teachers as "Students of the Month" - so proud of them!
