Caleb loves to paint.
But sometimes, I think he is too neat.
So I encourage him to be a little messy…he is a boy after all! Lol! 😉
Messy doesn’t really have to be a pain.
Hate clean ups?
Paint in the bathroom/shower!
This way, it’s easier to clean up and your child can go wild painting the walls and in Caleb’s case — the bathroom floor too. 🙂
Materials:
1. Baking Soda
2. Vinegar
3. Food coloring
4. Droppers (I used medicine/vitamin droppers)
5. Large tray
6. Bowls for the colored vinegar
Put baking soda on a tray. It’s really up to you how much you want to use.
In separate bowls, mix food coloring and vinegar.
Caleb wanted red and green only so that’s what we made.
Caleb put some colored vinegar onto the baking soda using the medicine droppers. This is a wonderful activity for using his fingers and he enjoyed all the fizzing action.
The mixture got pretty soggy after a while.
It had the texture of wet sand.
So, Caleb played with it. 🙂
When he was done, he packed away all the “sand” under the little bowl and gave me the tray to put away.
What a neat little boy 😉
Simple and easy matching activity.
I used materials that were readily available at home:
1. baking tray
2. alphabet magnets
3. paper with alphabet outlines (used colored pencil to trace the letters onto the paper)
I wanted to do this activity because Caleb pretty much memorized the his store-bought alphabet puzzles—since these were in order from A-Z.
I mixed up the letters .
Caleb would sound out the letters as he would match them.
