Water beads.....

The wonderful world of water bead play!!!

Today was science day with Teacher Rosemary in Rose Room! What better way to introduce science than with water beads? Water beads are like little seeds that are dehydrated. As water is added to the seeds, the seeds drink it up, transforming into soft squishy, smooth marbles. (These are available at Michael's or Dollar Tree in the floral department, and are often used to fill vases instead of using marbles. We use them for sensory and science activities.)








Squishing them with our feet....













The boys and girls had so much fun observing the beads on the light table and using flashlights. We also added some glow sticks to their choices.







Water beads are a wonderful sensory experience for all to enjoy!
