This weekend has been pretty yucky outside! Friday was beautiful, but Saturday and today were overcast and cloudy and then eventually it rained! So, to keep the kids from going stir crazy, ok, who am I kidding, to keep ALL of us from going stir crazy, I decided to break out a few "rainy day activities" for the kids to do. A big thank you to Pintrest for all these wonderful ideas. First, the kids made their valentines for the kids in their class. I found this cute idea on pintrest to use a white crayon and write on paper "You blow me away" and then let the kids paint over the wording with water color and the message appears and then you attach it to some bubbles. Brilliant! They turned out cute, but I think you have to stick to the light colors for the wording to show up really well. Today, we are playing with "fluffy stuff." It is like moon sand, but with cornstarch and shaving cream. The kids are calling it snow and having a blast. They are still playing with the "snow" as I am typing this blog. I think they have been playing for about 45 minutes and when I ask if they are done, they scream: "NO!" I will tell you that it is not the cleanest of indoor activities and I will not lie and say that I haven't had a couple of moments of "what the heck was I thinking", but they are having fun and that is all that counts. I can always sweep and mop my floors and the kids will get baths, so it's all good!! So, I would say that we kicked this rainy weekend's booty!
Hope everyone had a great weekend as well!!
