Samantha has been asking for celery and peanut butter as a snack lately. I finally remembered to buy some celery at Trader Joes. She was very happy but I realized that she just likes to eat the peanut butter off of it. I must teach her that a spoonful of peanut butter is just as delicious and less wasteful.
I got the Trader Joes brand of celery hearts~some of the celery had leaves on it still so I decided to stick them in water and food coloring to show them how to change the color of the leaves.
I let them pick the colors...Aiden picked orange and Samantha picked red. The leaves changed colors within a few hours. That instant gratification was nice :)
The veins of the celery also changed colors so I was able to show her how the celery gets its water and nutrients.
It's a quick and fun little science activity.
