Hey Readers,
I have a fun activity for your toddlers. I made it up...Sike (Psych?), I got it from Pinterest of course.
Its called "Goop".
You will need:
Cornstarch
Water
Plastic container (preferably deep)
Play spoons and bowls
As you can see, we started this experiment inside, which was a BIG mistake. So, my advice is to do this outside in a place you don't mind cornstarch to fall. We moved outside.
The blog that I read mentioned starting out with just dry cornstarch and letting them play with the dry substance and use their imaginations. Bake always loves to make a "mountain" anytime he is playing with a powder. (Like when he helps me make pancakes or muffins).
Then I let him slowly add Tablespoons of water to test different consistencies. Once its mixed together, it has the most interesting texture. Is it liquid, is it solid? I just don't know. What I do know is that it kept this boy entertained for about an hour and a half. That, my friends, is a victory!
Once we moved outside, we wanted to drizzle the goop onto the newspaper, which was another neat way to play with it.
As if this wasn't enough entertainment for a Monday, we received 2 special packages from Ebay that I bought for fun. Bake has been very into "dress-up" now that his new class has a huge dress up bin for the kids to play in. On multiple occasions, I have picked him up and he is sporting a Minnie Mouse dress, witch's skirt, Pluto hat, you name it. So, I decided we could have some fun with costumes at home. So, I found these cheap costumes on Ebay and away we went.
ROAAARR!
Sadly, this is the best one I could get of the pirate, but he did lots of "ARRR's"
We went from a super fun Monday to a pretty disastrous Tuesday. Nothing major, just a lot of discipline challenges. I have to say that Bake is a great kid 90% of the time, but that 10% will send you to drinking, real quick.
See ya 'round mateys!
