Another fun day...

This morning after davening Sima right away asked, "Mommy can we do a project!" I guess she's getting into the routine of things! 
First, I boiled some hot water and poured in a cup into the measuring cup. Then Sima very carefully put in a half a cup of cornstarch.
I put in a drop of dishsoap, (it makes it more washable) and Mushka helped mix it.
I then poured half into two spray bottles. The girls each picked a color and I added a few drops of paint into their bottle. Then they shook it up!
I grabbed a few pieces of paper and we headed outside. It was a bit windy outside, so the girls collected some rocks to use as paper weights...
and painted away!



The paint came out very cute, and the girls loved it! If anyone wants to try it though I'd suggest adding more water so it should be easier to spray.
Originally I said I'd aim for two activities a day but it looks like its going to be an activity and a trip.
After lunch we headed over to the "Duck Park". Sima and Mushka had a fabulous time watching and feeding  the ducks!

We then played in the park a bit before heading home. What a fun day!

  2. I put in one cup of hot water, half a cup corn starch, a drop of dish soap and some paint to color it. I would probably do 1 1/4 cup water next time. Enjoy!
