Dyed beans and noodles

Over the weekend Selah and I had some fun dyeing beans and noodles. There are several different ways to do this but the way we did this was:

in a bowl add water, white vinegar and food coloring

stir every 15 minutes for about 2 hours

then spread on a pan and put in the oven on a lower temp for about 10-15 minutes

take off the tray and spread out and keep out over night to continue to let them air dry.

That looks so pretty!

Are you excited looking at all of this... imagine all the fun stuff we can do with this! :)

They kinda looked like jelly beans... make sure if you do this you reinforce them that this is not something to eat!

Stay tuned for our projects! :)

It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long. It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words. These are broken down into six sets of five words. The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game. Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory. Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not). Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...
