In Maker Space we created characters from our read aloud "The Wild Robot Escapes." Ask me to tell you about the character that I built.

As part of our exploration about liquids we created some water art. We learned that water droplets can join together. Using eyedroppers we mixed primary colours and created different sized drops on wax paper or tinfoil. Then we took a piece of paper and pressed it on the water to make beautiful works of art!
