Cornerstone Christian has ooey gooey day
i
The children of Cornerstone Christian Preschool enjoyed a morning of experimenting with fun ooey-gooey stuff.
How does cooked spaghetti feel? What happens when you mix these colors of paint together? What changes when
you add water to this grated soap and toilet paper? Working to lay a foundation for science concepts can be a
lot of fun. Above, Cassie Parks and Avery Biera en joyed the spaghetti.
Above, Avery Scott and Marly Weaver make a master-
piece. Left, Emma Ince got as much paint on herself as
she did on the paper.
