Messy Fun!

We've been really busy around here lately!  It seems that we never slow down with a walking toddler in the house.  :)  A few days ago we put shaving cream in the sensory bin.  It was fun for a minute or two but L wasn't a fan of the way it felt so he quickly lost interest.

We also played a matching game.  L had a great time with this and he really impressed me with how quickly he figured it out!  I placed all of our pots on the floor and I put their lids on the floor with them.  L is really into putting lids on things so I knew he would love this.  He went to town placing all the lids on the different pots!  After he figured out which lids went to which pots he experimented a little with putting smaller lids into larger pots and then putting the lids on over them.

We put glow sticks in balloons one night and the balloons glowed!  L had such a great time running around grabbing different glowing balloons and throwing them in the air.  Unfortunately since it was a night time activity I wasn't able to capture a good picture, but we had a blast!  L was able to have his first painting experience and boy was it fun!  I put down sponges and a small paint brush but he chose to paint with a fork ( he has a slight obsession with kitchen utensils :P.)  He was completely covered in paint by the time he was finished and I took him straight to the bath haha.  We have framed his first painting and hung it in our living room.

Today my husband got a snow day and I really wanted to take L outside to play in the snow but we're fighting off lingering colds so we decided to just put green sand in the sensory bin instead.  We're starting to get a little festive for St. Patrick's Day haha.  L had a blast in the sand and he's starting to get into the scooping and pouring stage so this was the perfect activity for him!
