Activity Time

I had Benjamin work on an activity that was supposed to only consist of a measuring cup, two bowls, and flour. (This was to keep him busy while I prepared dinner and it made him think he was cooking too.) Well, that lasted all of one minute and he wanted to add to it. So we added 2 eggs and another spoon. Adding the eggs added on 30 more minutes of fun for him! Even the mess he made was worth it....I think? I kept telling him to please try and not make a big mess. He's response was "But Momma, good chefs make big messes!" This was WAY past my comfort zone of messes but somehow I pulled through it.

The beginning....

Mommy having a heart attack....WE ARE ALL DONE! Messy, messy, messy.

Love it! Kudos for you, putting up with the mess. One of our kids' favorite is "quicksand" made with cornstarch and enough water to make a goo. It is hard and gooey at the same time... really fun. However, that one is only an outside distraction, because I definitely have to hose them down at the end!
