Fill large tub with water and rubber ducks. Add a few drops of blue food coloring to turn the water blue. Provide child with spray bottle filled with water. Students will realize that if they squirt the ducks in the water, they move. As the student is playing and discovering, talk with them about what they are experiencing. You can ask open-ended questions like:
Fill bottles with water (not quite to the top). Add a few drops of food coloring. Put the stem of the carnation in the colored water. Repeat this for all the colors you desire. Display bottles for students to observe. Set up paper, pencils/crayons, and magnifying glasses around bottles to encourage students to write/draw what they are seeing (these pages can be save to make a book with later). As the days go on and the flowers show more colors in their petals, meet with students and talk about what is happening.
Ask them questions such as:
Use the craft materials to create flowers of different sizes and colors. Glue onto poster board and let dry. Present to the infant and let them explore. As they are touching the different materials, converse with them about what they are experiencing. You can use new vocabulary words such as “petal”, “stem”, and “leaves” to promote language acquisition.
