Here is a fun thing to do with your kiddos ( 2 and up) that for some reason they LOVE!!!
The next time you are at the park,beach,or your nearest rock quarry ( ha!)..( if your kids are anything like mine, they love to pick-up and collect rocks)...have them find the smoothest , lightest colored rocks they can and then haul them home with you.
Spread down some newspaper or other means of protecting your furniture ( or better yet , just have them sit on an old sheet in the yard), get out some washable paint or markers , and let them paint/color the rocks!
Olivia worked on this task for about an HOUR yesterday ! I am not lying.. a full hour. She painted,admired, re-painted, admired, and then finally re-painted her rocks until she was satisfied.
Mama's reward: I got 2 loads of laundry started, unloaded and loaded the dishwasher, AND took a shower. ( the little man was taking his am nap). Nice!
Have fun!!!!
