Simple is Better {Winter Fun}

My boys teach me a lot of things -- the most recent lesson being -- "often, simple is better".  Today, I want to share two REALLY simple and super-fun things you can do with your kids.

1)  Snow Painting -  All you need is a spray bottle filled with water and a few drops of food coloring.  The kids will have a ball using the snow as their canvas.  {I know mine did.}



2)  Glow in the Dark Bathtime - All you need to do is throw a bunch of glow sticks into the bathtub.  Does it get any easier than that?  We did this last night, and my boys thought it was awesome!  {Seriously awesome!}


So... this weekend, give one of these activities a try.  It takes very little effort, and your kids will have a ball... guaranteed.

    We are going to try the glow sticks tonight...my almost 5 yr old is pretty excited. And as soon as we get some snow (which may or may not be this weekend! lol) we are going to paint the snow. Sounds like lots of fun. Thanks for all the good ideas!!

    I love the creativity with simple things here! I have 3 young nieces that range from 4 weeks old to 12 years old and I'm sure all 3 of them would enjoy these activities :D Thanks for the great ideas! -Kate

      That is a good point. I am lucky because there is only 3 1/2 years in between my oldest and youngest, so they all enjoy a lot of the same activities. Have fun with your nieces!
