Rainy Day

I tested out some activities I've been wanting to try with Izzy since its been a cold, rainy weekend.

1. Homemade edible finger paint recipe and instructions found at the Imagination Tree. This was a fun activity though the "paint" itself was more paste-like and not very vibrant.

2. Making bubbles with vinegar an baking soda. Found idea from mama smiles. ( I previously posted on this one). For a toddler, I suggest using a straw cup with a lid (and no straw) to pour out the vinegar or a sippy cup with the no-spill stopper removed. This is a really fun, but messy activity. We end up have white spots in the "splash zone" around Izzy's highchair. I let her clean up her tray as part of the activity, but she invariably ends up splaying the vinegar and baking soda slosh on the floor.

Indoor Toddler Activities

With winter in full swing (though not a very snowy one) I have started researching more fun indoor activities for Izzy. I enjoy reading "Tot School" and Montessori school blogs for inspiration and printables. Here are a few super cool ideas I want to try next:

• Homemade finger paint. Recipe and detailed pictures found over at I can teach my child

Recipe for Homemade Finger Paint
1 cup flour
2 tablespoons salt
1 1/2 cups cold water
1 1/2 cups hot water
Coloring:  food coloring, tempera paint, or powdered tempera will work

• Letter matching with foam bath letters. Izzy is starting to learn her letters, so I have been looking for simple activities to help encourage her. 

Letter Match tray idea from The Princess and The Tot

• Sensory play tray with baking soda and vinegar. I remember making foaming volcanoes in elementary school, but I never would have thought of this! Izzy loves bubbles in the tub, and digging in the dirt and sandboxes, so I think this may be a fun activity for her.
