Making a Mess!

I'm usually not a big fan of cleaning up messes! But if it involves having fun or playing than I guess it's not so bad! The kids had a lot of fun making a mess with jell0 pudding, rice and corn! Sounds CrAZy?! I know! But my kids sure seemed to enjoy it--and it really doesn't take much sometimes to have a good time with my kids!
Doesn't his face say it all: pure joy!! Caleb loved this activity!

He especially loved that it was edible! Yum!

Even with a face covered in chocolate he is such a handsome little guy!

Oh and Miss Mara? Yes she loved it too! Can you tell?!

This was a great little activity to do right before a bath--everything and everyone came clean!

What a messy little sweetie!

Another fun activity we enjoy doing is playing with dried corn and rice.

Oh and yes, Caleb even tried eating it! Kind of crunchy!

He loved feeling the rice between his chubby little fingers!

And Ty thought it was fun using the trucks!

Filling up her load!

The best part about this activity is you sweep it up and the mess is gone!

These were activities you loved when you were young. Finger painting was always a favorite.
The price of rice makes this activity worthwhile. It does clean up easily.

I have never bought dried corn. Where did you find it.

I want to play at your house.
