Bottles

Tweet

This week's Unplugged Project was "bottle," and since we are on "X" week, we decided to make a xylophone out of bottles.

So Mommy and I got out a bunch of bottles. She didn't have very many empty ones, so I grabbed some out of the fridge to make a few more notes. But she wouldn't let me use the ketchup one since it was plastic. Here I am arranging my xylophone. Great music, er, noise lesson.

I've got spoons to ding on the glasses. Mommy showed me how to pour water into and out of the bottles to make the sound lower or higher. But she wouldn't open up the soy sauce or the banana sauce or the olive oil to let me pour those out. Great pouring lesson.
Then I decided I should read the ingredients of the soy sauce bottle to make sure they were appropriate for my xylophone. Great reading lesson.
Then I decided to see what bottles fit into the other bottles. Great spatial lesson.

Finally I had to clean up all the water I spilled. This would have been so much more fun if I could've poured ketchup instead of water! Great life skills lesson.
