Idea:

A great idea that develops preschool science and math skills is to make up a batch of jam with your class. If you use freezer jam it is so simple. You need to set aside a good hour to allow the children to help with the measuring and pouring of ingredients. when the jam is finished, you can give the kids a taste of their "science project" on a cracker and send the rest home in small glass jars. This is a bit messy, but the kids really love it. Parents liked the jam, too! You could also attach a business-size note with ribbon around the jar with the jam recipe or a berry poem on it.

Idea:

Scratch 'n Sniff Strawberries

Materials Needed

Kool - Aid brand strawberry mix in small packets red paint

Fill a paint cup up about 1/4 of the way with red paint Mix in *Kool-Aid* Watch as paint foams up and over the edge of the cup stir it and watch it foam up again.

Finally use the paint

When it dries you can scratch and sniff it.

*i have tried this with other brands but it only works with Kool-Aid
