Birds and Ducks with Noey ~ Salty Sea with Remy

My little artist was all about the birds this day. He painted his red bird.




I found this activity to go along with his duck page on pinterest.

Noey thought it was great, as you can see.




We had a pile of messy ducks.


He thought bathing them was as fun as painting with them.


He had some time to play on his new kitty cat piano.


Remy wrote this about his best friend.


Remy started on a masterpiece.


We set up for an experiment to show why the ocean is getting saltier.


Remy mixed 4 Tablespoons of salt into 1 cup of water.


He watched it boil...




The salt was left behind and it was fluffy!


Remy Art - Elephants, Ducks, and Mermaids

Remy made a little duck with feathers.








He drew this Bess Beetle on a snail mail letter he wrote to one of his favorite friends.





I found these two taped to his school desk one evening. I guess his drawings converse these days.








He created this elephant by tracing his scissors.

Oil and Water

Remy learned in science that a duck has an oil sac by his tail and that this oil is what coats his feather and keeps him water proof.

He then put some olive oil on a sheet of paper.

And then he put water on the the oil.

And he saw that oil and water doesn't mix. :)

So that is why water rolls off of a duck's back. ;)
