Water Play and Sparkles

The other day L set up his own play invitation, I love when that happens haha.  He took an empty jar, went to the bathroom with his stool and filled it with water.  Then he started to pour the water into some containers I had set out in the hall earlier to eventually put in his playroom to store sensory materials in.  Anyway, with a little help from me we had the containers set up in the bathroom with a towel underneath them to catch the mess.  He had a blast with this!

L has also recently discovered glitter and he is super happy about it.  He has used it with glue on paper, he has used it in the sensory bin with liquid watercolors and he has sprinkled a bunch on paper and practiced writing circles in it with his fingers.  Lol I think it's safe to say he's glitter obsessed at this point.  ;)

The other day I also added a little twist to our old baking soda and vinegar activity.  I spread baking soda on the bottom of the sensory bin and then filled different spray and squirt bottles with colored vinegar.  It turns out he only wanted to use the squirt bottles and when he was finished with those he wanted me to pour the vinegar from the other containers into the squirt bottles so that he could keep using them.  It turned out to be a pretty neat activity because every time he would squirt his bottle the baking soda would fizz up in that part of the bin.  It made a neat looking mixture of colors too.
