Playing kitchen
Playing with the kindle
We made some homemade sidewalk chalk paint. The kids both really enjoyed it.
This was the second batch. I had to make more blue for Jed.
We made food color ice cubes to have some fun. We put them in a bin of water and then in the pool.
I went to the dollar store and for a small investment was able to get a ton of fun things. I got a bunch of sponges and squirt bottles and the kids spent a good hour "cleaning" on the deck.
Today we were archaeologists. I froze some toy dinosaurs in some water and Jed tried to "excavate" them. He tried to hammer it. Then tried squirting water in it. After some discussion, he figured out that if he threw it in the pool it would melt like the ice cubes.
We did some more food coloring ice cubes today too.
See the sticky from her patch?
Then we had a "car wash" with Jed's toy cars.
Seriously, I love dollar tree. I was able to get even more supplies for some additional summer fun. They have all sorts of things like butterfly nets, sand toys, sponges, popsicle sticks, etc. Cheap way to have a bit of fun. And check out pinterest. We are still going to try some "summer snow," goop, and play doh.
