Whipped Cream Color Exploration

This was a "wake up!" morning activity. We started the day with a little mess and a little learning. All you need for this is Reddi Wip and food coloring.

I sprayed some Reddi Wip on the table in front of each of my little ones and then added a couple drops of primary colored food coloring and let the kids mix it up. Then we added a second primary color to see what secondary colors they made.

The Prince was not too keen on the idea of making such a mess, however the Princess took care of that for him by making sure to splat it all over! :)

*shaving cream can also be used, however whipped cream makes this a much safer toddler activity since it is edible :)

Marshmallow structures and a living room campout!

So tonight after the princess went to bed the prince and I set up a tent in the living room for a fun little camping "trip". We put down sleeping bags and pillows and were ready for a fun night!

After setting up the tent we made s'mores in the microwave. The prince decided to just eat the chocolate since the s'mores were "too messy!" He thoroughly enjoyed watching the marshmallows grow in the microwave though!

Then we grabbed a board from our train table and used it to start our project. We took marshmallows and tooth picks and started making all sorts of different creations. This project was fun, inexpensive (around $2 I believe), and was a great fine motor tool!

After our creations were made we cleaned up and called it a night, we actually both managed to sleep all night in that small tent. Though I must admit my back was not happy with me in the morning, however my little prince could not have been happier :)
