whimsical wednesday

it's oatmeal day this whimsical wednesday!  the get ready post on monday offered several suggestions for whimsical wednesday oatmeal activities.  several of those activities were very appealing.  however, sometime between monday and wednesday, it came to me to dye oatmeal with food coloring!  why, i have no clue but it sounded like fun so why not?!

oatmeal was poured into four paper cups, enough to cover the bottom of the cups.  food coloring was added to the oatmeal; one color in each of the cups:  red, yellow, blue and green.  the oatmeal was stirred to coat all the oatmeal. it looked like confetti!  confetti is one of my favorite happy words so that oatmeal outcome was exciting! 

after the food coloring dried, the oatmeal needed a taste test.  the red oatmeal tasted RED.  the yellow oatmeal tasted YELLOW.  the blue oatmeal tasted BLUE.  the green oatmeal tasted GREEN!  the blue oatmeal was my favorite. 

it seemed the birds would enjoy confetti oatmeal so it was thrown out into the yard for them to enjoy. 

what was your oatmeal activity for whimsical wednesday?
