Time again for Show & Tell!  A couple weeks ago, when we started our Lewis & Clark unit in History, we followed my book's instructions for making "vermillion" paint, which the Corps of Discovery took with them to trade to the Native Americans they met. 

Then it was off to a mirror so Landon and Kennady could paint up!

Here is Landon trying to look mean, like he's headed out on the warpath.  And Kennady tried to look mean too, but couldn't wipe the smile off her face. 

At first we were a little disappinted that the paint looked more PINK than RED, but when the time came to wash it off, I was glad!  I had a few anxious moments where I thought I might have to take them to gym class looking like they had sunburn! Thankfully it really was washable, like the instructions said, but I'd recommend not leaving the paint on for TOO long! LOL
