Extreme Green--Our Project Unplugged Activities

This week, my son and I explored "green" activities.  We weren't sure if this meant "the color green" or "green living" type activities, so we tried to do both! 
First, I sent my son outside to find and pick green objects in nature. After he brought them outside and identified the different plants,  he made a collage with all of the nature objects.

After discovering that my table needed cleaning, my son made finger paint from shaving green and green food coloring and "painted" designs on the table.  He found that washing the table was as much fun as painting!

We tried an experiment to see if blue "floam" could be turned green by adding yellow food coloring. (Answer: no.)

He also tried making an "art sculpture" using green 'floam."

As part of my son's "green living project", he planted a garden of sunflowers and corn.

To find next weeks assignment and  what others are doing, visit The Unplugged Project.

I am having trouble getting your link for your other blog to work from my Mondays on Mothering posts. (Mr. Linky.) Any idea why it's not working? Amy B

PS. I really like the Green projects. We are planting our container garden next week, a Mother's Day tradition.

I like the shaving cream / cleaning project....multitasking at its best! The bird gourd photo on my blog is off google. I do have some small ones but not a good example. There will be plenty of photos this fall when we harvest them. My friend is going to help me learn how to do it correctly ( so no mold grows! LOL we are in the south)

Thank you for your prayers... everything turned out to be fine. We did not get the insurance, so we are stuck with a rather large bill. My health is fine - and thats the important thing though :)!! I've just been SUPER SUPER busy - Wish I didn't have to sleep... LOL.

Thank you again for your prayers

What a lot of fun your son had with green! I love all the different art projects he accomplished, and his garden is something to be proud of- I hope it flourishes!

Great projects! Interesting about the Floam. I hope you'll post a photo of the end result of the garden. By the way, your Mr. Linky link was incorrect, but I figured out where you were and fixed it for you. I hope to see you next week for "newspaper!"
