We've done a series of fun things lately, thought I would share and I would love to hear other ideas.
1) Balloon painting- dip balloons in paint and press on paper. We made "The Very Hungry Caterpillar." Although the kids loved it, not a single one looks like a caterpillar heh heh (aside from mine!)
2) Good Ol' chalk paint- mix corn starch and water and food colouring. We have made this many times, never gets old.
3) Home made silly putty- this was a bit of a flop- mix corn starch and dish soap until you get a clay consitancy. The kids lost interest quickly and I didn't think it was much like silly putty...but it led to #4
4) 2 kids, 2 bowls, water and a box of corn starch. They mixed and made "hot dogs" forever.
5) Body painting- big hit! mix plain yogurt with food colouring in different colours, kids in bathing suits and go to town.
6) Water painting- classics never die. The kids will paint the fence with water forever.
7) planted a veggie garden. We started some seeds inside but I mostly bought the plants.
