I pin a lot of stuff, especially for my kids, or to do with my kids. And I really do try to actually DO some of the stuff that I pin.
My biggest success was a Messy Playdate.Quite simple- I found a bunch of messy play/sensory activities, and set them all up on the patio so that the kids could play.
This is what I included: Paint (which I made), Shaving Cream, Water Beads, Dirt, Sand, and a Baby Pool of Bubble Bath.
Other than the sand, I found all these ideas on Pinterest. I also tried to make bubbles, using two different recipes, but failed. We have hard water, so it might have been that. I got the dirt from the hardware store, the shaving cream from the dollar store, the water beads from the floral department at an arts and crafts store. (the bubble bath was from the grocery, I think, it is what I had on hand) All told, I think I spent $10 to set this up. I didn't have to buy any containers or pools or anything, though- I used the baby pools and water tables that I already had.
And here are some during/after. I would say that the kids had fun!
The kids look so adorable. I think they really enjoyed playing. My kids really enjoy playing with water especially if I add water beads to it.
