More Adventures With 2 Year Olds

 More rice fun




 Peanut butter play dough

     This week we made colored rice, which much to my delight the kids loved and have asked to play with it everyday since.  I gave them each paint brushes and a plate of glue, they thought that was pretty fun but LOVED when it came time pouring the rice onto the glue.  Ok, funny story, Justice would only use the orange rice the first day, I tried and tried to talk him into adding or playing with another color but he would just reply "no, I'm good Jessi, orange".  When I asked him what his picture was of he replied "orange".  Silly boy.
    They liked using our rice in art projects but they LOVED mixing it and pretending it's jewels or Hanna's favorite the ingredients for enchiladas.  They played with it for hours each day, Kabree and Justice loved pouring it on the flour and "swimming" in it, silly kiddos.  We also made peanut butter play dough this week, which the kids about made them selves sick by eating so much of it.  FYI, we do get dressed for the day one of the days was our pajama party day : ).  Needless to say it was another messy couple days but we loved every minute of it.
