Does
your Tot like to mix things? I mean just
about ANYTHING? Well mine certainly
does!
I
gave Sofía some empty take out containers, mixing bowls, squeeze bottles and
plastic spoons. All this to be paired
with some water color and water.
Literally
for about 50 segundos we talked about
watching the drops of water mix around in plain water.
And
then basically she wanted me out of her way.
She wanted to do all the mixing and swishing and coloring that she
wanted to do at her own pace. I of
course had to participate and LIKE whatever she conjured up!
What
was nice about this is that we kept recycling water and paint. When Sofía mixed up all her clear water and
used all her paint, we just refilled the squeeze bottles with her new concoctions. This lasted for 3 days of play and dreary
gooky beautiful colores!
It
can be messy a little bit of a pain to clean and organize…..but educational
benefits of free messy play certainly outweigh my minor annoyance about
cleaning! And the PURE JOY that Sofía
gets out of this activity is topped by few others!
