I actually did something that I'd filed away in my cob-web infested brain! The girls had their best friend over for a last playdate. (best friend is moving out of state this week- very sad!) I got out the big guns, and we made a craft! Remember when I commented that I wanted to try this? I actually did it. (amazing!) Here is what I've dubbed "the I-Spy bottles:"
The kids are not super impressed with them. But I am ecstatic! How cool is it?! So cool! And I impressed the pants off of best friend's mommy. (it's nice not to be the under-achiever-mom once in a while) Can you believe I did this all on the fly?! (I owe the husband three drinks now... but still) This was all done with stuff I found around the house because this playdate was super-last-minute. I cannot tell you how proud I am to have been "fun-mom" for a couple hours.
We have made these a couple of times and my kids love them. If you want to step it up a notch, start by using food coloring to color the rice. Let it dry and then let them pick what color(s) they want.
ReplyDeleteI thought about the food coloring. But that seemed messy. Very, very messy... and stainable. :)
