So today I planned a bunch of activities for the boys to keep Kaed from asking to go outside. It's mid-April, I'm not going out when the ground is completely covered in snow.
Activity #1.
I printed out some Cars coloring pages for Kaed. He thought that was just fantastic. Cars Movie is his favorite right now so anything that has Lightning or Mater just lights him up. I've never had much success getting him to color for more than 2 minutes before but having his favorite characters to color seemed to do the trick, he sat there for a good 20 minutes! Brayer played with the crayons and surprisingly didn't try to eat any.
Activity #2.
I made play dough! Never done it before but it was so easy and turned out so good. I got the recipe from Make and Takes. It was the first time Kaed has played with it and he thought it was fantastic. Bawled his eyes out when it was time to put it away and go play with the new foam shapes I made for him and Brayer in the bath.
He loved it when I made some play dough into a ball and proceeded to ask me to make the entire batch into balls.... notice how I made 2 different colors for him and he instantly mashed them all together. Oh well!
On a totally separate note.... Look what you get if you don't wash your floor every time a spill happens, spill art!

ha ha ha This post made me laugh from beginning to end. So funny.
Looks like you guys had a pretty good day!
You should have had M over to play too :) lol he would have had much more fun than he did with tired mommy :) And your spill art looks like an exotic bird in flight :) awesome :)
um. is that seriously your floor? with paint or something!???
play dough is awesome! And, there is no point in making separate colours in our house either. They always get mashed together...instantly!
We think your spill art should be turned because the red looks like a chipmunk that is standing on a rock. ;)
I LOVE Kaed's T Shirt!
I meant to do the play dough with Ella this weekend but forgot, but I hope to do it still this week sometime.
