Coffee Filters with a Spin

 Back in the fall our church nursery moved to a new location within our church.  And our children's leader came the title "Kidventure Island"

 So this is the sign that I came up with for our new location.  And we lucked out and got two nice rooms directly across the hall from each other....

Our infants are in one room, and then once they start walking confidently they move to the other room.  So, we are now "Baby Bay" and "Tiny Tot Landing"

 I also decided it might be fun to try coloring some coffee filters.  Our rooms are large so I wanted some nice pops of color but in large quantities...

 And I did some wreaths at Christmas so the "how to" post is here.  For these I used several packages of styrofoam balls...

 I wanted some pretty intense colors so we used quite a bit of food color.  These little bowls hold about a cup of water but I only filled them about 1/3 full with water....

 Doodlebug was WAY into this...and we colored ALOT of coffee filters....I'd say at least 14 packages of 200 filters each.

 So I did them in stacks of about 50 filters---turned them upside down pressed them into the liquid...

 Gave them a few twists and turns in the bowl...

 And set them on my cookie racks to dry....

 And drying takes a few days....

 I've been working on these over the past 2 months just doing a few stacks at a time and gluing gluing gluing!!!

 We actually went in to church today and got almost everything put up ...FINALLY!!!

So I took a few pictures...all 4 of us were there so it was just a little crazy....but I did remember to take a few shots of things "up" where they go...
