Fresh Coat of Paint

As I talk to other moms or find interesting activities online I do try a few and we found this works! I modified another moms idea and it is at least 30-40 minutes of good fun!

Here is what you need:
-cardboard box bigger the better
-paint brush
-small container
-bath fizz tablets
- little water

Here is what you do:
1. Fill container half way with water
2. Let child put fizzy in water color of their choice
3. Place the cardboard on either grass or the driveway something that will not stain because these haven't stained even clothes but I would not want you to find out the hard way it stains
4. Give the child the paint brush and container let them paint away

It is a super fun activity which doesn't give everything in your house a coat of paint!!!

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:
