Creative Play

Over the summer I tried a few outdoor activities with Ada that involved flour, flavored gelatin, and finger paint. I found the ideas online which were considered safe for little ones to do (especially for my taste testing toddler).

She had fun playing in the flour and then eventually dumping it into the grass and wiping it on herself and on me. She enjoyed the gelatin too, squishing it between her fingers and then eating most of it. I found a recipe for corn starch finger paint, since I knew it would go in her mouth. It was a good idea except for the food coloring which stained her hands for a couple days.

Now I need to find activities for indoor play this winter so we (I) don’t go nuts :)
