jarras del otoño

We are making fall sensory jars.

Our wonderful collection. My daughter wanted to add a few fall silk leaves we had.

To make these fall sensory jars first up, she added water to a few empty, clean glass jars. Upon her request I even added apple pie spice to the water. She enjoyed smelling the water.

She added  about 1/3 cup of vegetable oil and then added yellow food color. We were mesmerized watching the color mix with the water.

We observed the oil settle on top of the water and had a quick discussion about that [ Got to love on the go, learn while you play thing, right? Science while makinfgfall jars] Making these sensory jars is proving to be fun and educational.

Then it was time to add the nature bits. She chose to add the small twigs first to the sensory jars.

Doesn’t this look like a fall tree in a jar?

Later we added many leaves we  found and ended with adding the silk leaves to the sensory jars.

Here she is testing ” silk leaves are lighter than water? I’m going to make then sink. Watch!” [ Again, another hands on science learning moment]

 Just so you know, my toddler LOVED these fall sensory jars as well and made the small one and a sensory jar with small pumpkins.

Here are all our fall sensory jars.

We even made a green sensory jar.
