Free Fun Friday

Happy Friday everyone!  The free fun activity I had planned for us today didn’t quite go in the direction I had expected it to.  I setup a fun little water xylophone for BabyBargain this morning (just your classic glasses with decreasing amounts of water,) tuned them to a major scale (BYO OCD…), and thought I’d add a little food coloring to toss in a color lesson.  Well.  Apparently I was wrong in thinking that hitting glasses with a spoon would be the big draw.  After a few good spoon hits, BabyBargain became infatuated with the colored water and made a move to combine two.  I exclaimed, “no, they’re perfectly tuned!” to a blank (adorable) face and (semi-regretfully) let him at it.  Mixing yellow and blue seemed akin to discovering plutonium!  We happily mixed and poured through the morning.  A heads-up, though- if you think you may be headed in the same direction, switch to clear plastic cups early on.  They won’t make any noise, but they also won’t make your heart drop to your stomach when one falls to the floor.  All in the name of science!
