This morning “B” was extra rambunctious so I knew it was time to find him a new and different activity. I hopped on to Pinterest real quick and found this!
Since my husband has a gluten allergy I had a little bit of wheat flour that hadn’t been used in months. “B” followed me to the kitchen where I grabbed a cookie sheet and the container of flour and I told him to go sit at the table. I poured the flour out and his eyes got wide.
Was he allowed to play in this?!
Yes! He played for almost a half hour with very little (for a toddler!) mess and I could see the wheels turning in his head. The flour was so soft and powdery! I gave him a couple of old cookie cutters to use as tools.
What sorts of activities do you break out in a moments notice to keep your toddler busy?
I love this. My little guys love to help me make sugar cookies because they get to play with flour… I forget the JUST flour can be so much fun for them. Thanks :)
That expression is priceless! I can’t wait to try this with my LO.
great idea :) I’ve used bubbles and can always make them with dish soap.
