Let loose and get messy!

Have you had fun with your kids lately? I'm talking about messy fun. (Yes, I know it means you will have ONE more thing to clean up later, but just hear me out :) )

Our children cherish the time we spend with them, and even more so when we make an extra effort to do something silly or messy. Here are a few ideas:

-Break out the bubbles...inside!

-Give each child a shallow cookie sheet, then dump some flour inside. Give them different toys to play with (boys LOVE using their trucks and dump truck to scoop up the "dirt"). Use this also has an educational activity...write out the alphabet with your finger in the flour. (For an even more fun and messier option, use shaving cream to write out the alphabet!)

-Put swimsuits on the kids and let them play in your indoor pool. Everyone has one...yes, you do! Who says an indoor pool has to be bigger than the size of a bathtub in order to have fun? :)
