Oobleck
Another really fun and messy (and cheep) activity is oobleck. This is literally as simple as corn starch and water but it has an amazing property of behaving like both a solid and a liquid. If you try to punch or poke quickly through it, it acts like a solid, but slowly slide your hand into…

Pouring water
The day we did this the high was 107. Bleh. We went out super early in the morning to the park to get some wiggles out, knowing that we were going to be inside for most of the day. Later in the morning before it was too roasting hot we went out on the back…

Homemade Puffy Paint
I asked Landon if he wanted to do a project this morning, already having something in mind. He enthusiasticly said “Yes, I want to make a cloud!” I’m all for doing the things he wants to do. I’ve done a project in the classroom before with a mixture of shaving cream and glue to make…

Hallway Bowling
A few weeks ago Landon tried out bowling at a bowling ally with a new friend we made. They had a blast – for about 6 frames. We didn’t even finish a game – their attention span was just too short – but they really had fun for the time they were there! Landon keeps…

Gluten Free Playdough
Landon’s allergic to wheat. I know he’s not the only kid! He’s much better now about eating it, but when he was littler he would eat the playdough when I wasn’t looking. Shocker of all shockers I know. This recipe I found here it’s really easy to make! Gluten Free Play Dough 1/2 Cup Rice Flour 1/2…

Moon Sand
This morning we had some fun with moon sand. If you’ve never made moon sand you’re missing out on hours of fun. It’s super easy and cheap to make and lasts for quite some time in a zip lock bag. It’s like sand when you run your fingers through it, but it forms like play dough when…

Everyday Life – Music Time
Both Brad and I were very musically involved growing up. I think I was way more than Brad as I grew up in a singing instrument playing family, went through band since elementary school (Brad did too) and kept making music a part of my life even now by singing in our church worship team…
