Water Blob = Friday fun for hours

At first I thought Pinterest might be a big waste of time but now I think it is a great tool to find awesome ideas to try! Yesterday we tried making a water blob and we were a little skeptical because the supplies are just sheeting plastic and duct tape. Our two year old even help us put some tape on and surprisingly it was Hours of fun for all three of us!!! Basically it is a tuff water mattress and it does not take much effort to get it ready to play with!!

Here are the steps: inside take a section of plastic and fold it in half, tape the sides up with the duct tape leaving a small hole just big enough to put a hose through, take it outside put the water hose in the opening fill it with water, and play till you can find a way to bust it (we really had to try hard this is tuff)!!

As you can see I can stand on it and our baby can flip on it too!! My hubby actually belly flopped on it with both baby and me on it and it still held up!!

Using the cloud

Today is such a beautiful day and I wanted to do several activities outside with my main man! We had a blast using the cloud... not to be confused with the iCloud or a real cloud... and we had SO SO much fun!! It is so messy but easy and a good hour of fun! It is so simple most of the stuff I had already. All you do is use corn starch, Shaving cream, and we even added baby oil to create a soft beautiful molding "sand" like dough. Honestly we didn't measure anything out but mixed what we liked. The great news about this stuff too is that it really feels great and is a great sensory learning project! It also pampers mommy too because I got in a little sun after the mixing stage was done!! Check it out:
