It seems strange to be posting about this now... since we spent all afternoon outside without coats, the kids barefoot at times, enjoying the sunshine and spring like weather. We went from 17 inches of snow and temperatures of -15* to temperatures in the 70's. All in a week. Crazy Kansas weather.
But the kids had so much fun with this! I can take no credit for this fun idea. I totally stole it from my friend, Amanda. I saw it on her blog and knew my kids would love it! I spent $5 buying these little bottles at Wal-Mart... then added some water and food coloring...
Gathered an assortment of dishes from our toy kitchen area (the ice cream scoop was the favorite)...
Thanks again for these cute jammies, Jessi! Sophie loves them!!
Two hours later, we were left with this... a very manageable clean-up. (And daddy thought this would be such a mess! I think Mommy's "keep them busy" activity worked perfectly!)
They each asked to do this several more times over the next few days. I'm pretty sure this is going to be a regular activity at our house each time it snows! :)

yay, I'm so glad they loved it so much! Glad to know that even the "bigger" kids like it - gives us MANY more years of this activity! I'll have to pick up some of those bottles - so perfect!
Genius!
