Celebrating Earth Day: Making An Earth Day Banner
Gracie girl LOVED making this planet Earth banner. Grace first added a little water to blue and green food coloring. She used droppers to add the colors to coffee filters. Once the filters dried I cut them out into the shape of a circle and taped them onto a piece of brown yarn to make a banner. Grace has always loved experimenting with water, colors and droppers so this was the perfect project for her. Grace ended up coloring so many filters that the Earth Day banner stretches from one end of our living room to the other. It is so long that I couldn't capture all of it in a picture! 
Grace was so excited when she woke up on Earth Day morning to see her banner! Jack loves the Earth Day banner too. He was dancing all around our living room floor while saying, "er-kuls!" (circles) when he first saw it. This project opened the discussion to talk about how fragile our Earth is and how we can help preserve it. Thank you, Grace for all of your hard work and for making these beautiful banner for all of us to enjoy!!!
