Fine motor skills

Super simple little project for wee ones. All I used was old school clothespins and a small cup. I showed her how to put them on the edge of the cup and then she had at it. It kept her quite occupied for awhile. And then her creative side kicked in and she had to go off and find other things to do with them :)

Chalk paint

Love Pinterest! Found chalk paint on there and tried it out with Z baby today. She had a blast! And I'll admit, I had fun playing with it too :) I went light on the food coloring as I saw a few comments that it could stain the concrete a bit so it was super pale colored. Zoey didn't care though! I believe I did equal parts water and cornstarch and then a tiny bit of food coloring. I've also seen to use a bit more cornstarch than water but haven't tried that yet.  Was great weather for playing outside!
