Noey's Valentine Bin

So, I broke down and make a sensory bin. I had looked at all the fun little bins being created all over the internet. I made a Valentine's one for February. Valentine's is a big deal for us. Since it is the day we were married it is the day that started our family of men. :) See, super big deal and very special. More on that later.





Noey had great fun with it.
















Eli and I also read about gasoline engines.





Remy had his math. (He reminds me of my dad here.)





Eli worked on french words in spelling.





A cute little monkey was created by Remy.





The first lizards of spring were held captive by Remy.





Later when daddy came home he helped Remy to learn about sound and how it vibrates and travels. They made the tried and true "phone" with cups and yarn.








Don't you love the way some days flow?

Observing Sound Vibrations

Elijah finally finished up his energy unit with sounds and hearing. Elijah carried out his last experiment.


Take a can and remove both ends and attach a balloon that has been cut so it can fit over one side of the can tightly. Place a small amount of foil on the balloon. You can make it stick with a bit of glue.





Hold the can to your mouth and speak, scream, hum, etc. through the open end as you shine a flashlight onto the foil. The light should bounce to the wall you are standing near. As you speak the light will move.
