Fizzy Colors

I wanted to share a fun science activity that works inside on a rainy day or outside on a warm sunny day!

Fizzy Colors is easy prep and kept my little guy engaged for awhile.

All you need to get started is baking soda, food coloring, and vinegar. 

I placed a drop of food coloring all over a baking sheet. 

Then, I covered each drop with the baking soda.

After they are all covered take an eye dropper of vinegar and put drops of it on each pile of baking soda.  As it fizzes the colors will start to appear!

Once they were all done fizzing my little guy took his dropper and started mixing the colors to make new colors.
We went through more vinegar than I expected, but I did have a lot of baking soda over each colored drop.
I hope your little ones enjoy this as much as mine did :)

Color Sorting

Sorting is a fun activity to do and a great skill to have when in preschool and kindergarten.  A good place to start when beginning to sort is with colors.  Colors are everywhere and most likely you have colored objects around your class or house.

A fun activity that I found all over Pinterest was a object color sort using objects around your house/classroom!  We used our big lego blocks to sort by color.

I laid out colored construction paper and we put the blocks on each paper to match the color.

We are totally into hiding things and finding them, so you could also "hide" the blocks and have your kiddos find the blocks.

I also have created a fun color sorting center that you can use.  It is laid out the same way, but I have included colored object cards to sort. 

Plus, there is a color match worksheet included.  Your kiddos will color each picture the correct color.
