Rainy days, snow days…just too hot days…

What to do, what to do…..

Sometimes it is nice to give the kids an activity that they can do independently while you are getting something else done….

The below are some activities that T & G like to do independently while I am busy with work or preparing dinner. My children are 4 & 2 years so this activity might get a bit messy with younger ones. These are table top activities. Enjoy..

Ideas:

Hot & cold landscapes a sensory activity:

Materials:

2 basins, rice, flour, pasta, red lentils

Animals for warm and cool climates eg: lions, elephant, polar bears, penguins

Method:

Fill one basin with rice and flour about 5cm high and place the cold animals inside

Fill the other basin with pasta shapes and red lentils and place the warm animals inside

Water world:

T & G both adore water so …

Materials:

2 basins, water, water animals, food coloring, bubbles

Method:

Place some newspaper on the table and put the basins on top (less to clean upJ)

Fill the basins with some warm water, and add the water creatures. Food coloring or bubbles can be added for fun…

I always stay near to them when they are doing these activities…just in case…thank you to Adam Osborne for inventing the laptop.
