Since moving to the flat, we haven't had much opportunity for the kids to play outside. I feel bad for them because they have so much fun mucking about. So I decided that since we had access to a huge stair landing space, I would buy a big tarp sheet so that we could sit out there and muck about.
For their first muck-about session, I decided it would be flour and water. Grandma kept trying to direct them to make dough. They had better ideas that included throwing flour around, mixing in a whole lot of water and stirring it about.
That really made muck that Baby J proceeded to smear on the wall. You can see that in the second picture where Evan is in the foreground mushing it with his hands.
All in, there was good fun to be had. Evan also helped with the clean up where he was stripped to just pants and got to wash out all the remnants with water. I can't put those pics up lest someone comments that I shouldn't put half naked pics of my kids on my blog. And Baby J, well, she looked like a little old lady with all the flour that she had tossed into her hair.
So, an afternoon of fun that justified that somewhat costly tarp sheet which I hope to use more often from now on! Now that I've got it anyway.

Oh my that looks like a whole lotta fun!
ReplyDeleteBringing dough play to the corridor instead of flour-ing up the house; what a brillant idea!
That looks like one big messy romp! Hope your neighbours didn't complain about the ruckus and stains, even though the corridor is supposed to be common property and all that.
ReplyDeleteWasn't on the corridor. It was on the stair landing in between floors. No one uses it and we did flush the place with water after. We are, after all, considerate residents. :)
ReplyDeleteHAH... you've tried this too huh... my kids loved it so much that I just might try it again...wahahaha... MESSY=FUN!!! ;)
ReplyDeleteaiyoh! who is that 'someone' who says you shouldn't put half naked pics of the kids on your blog? so paranoid right?!? tsk tsk tsk!!! :p
