For the last month or two, we have been struggling a lot with our former activity schedule. Either we don't get our activities done because of unpredictable nap times, or if we do find the time to do our activity, Izzy simply isn't interested. So next week we will begin making big changes to our activity format, but for now, we have one last 'normal' activity to share with you. Flour play! Since we are moving at the end of this month, we have been doing a lot of spring cleaning. One thing we discovered in our cleaning is that we have a lot of expired food and one of those expired foods is flour. Husby just wanted to throw the flour away because he claimed it made some peanut butter cookies he baked stale (while I thought they tasted just fine) but instead of throwing it away, I decided to make it into an Izzy activity. All I did was pour our remaining flour into a sensory tub, added some kitchen utensils and let him have at it. He explored it in every way he could think of and had more than 20 minutes of floury messy fun. This is a super simple activity and could be done on a much smaller scale if you don't feel like cleaning up a big floury mess. Flour is also good for a first sensory activity as it is safe and edible. You can even just pour a little bit onto a high chair tray and I'm sure your little one would love you for that as well.

AuthorHi! My name is Cassity and I am the mom to a little 2 year old boy named Izzy and a baby girl named Sydney. I am lucky enough to get to be a stay-at-home mom to them and we have fun thinking of new activities to do together in the afternoons. We created this blog as an opportunity to share those activities with you. Archives
