What to do? What to do?

So, Thursday it rained.  Not really a shock around here these days, but it still was yuck.  Georgia is no longer in a drought.  No fears here!  So, the kids were bored, and I was tired.  It was one of those times I had to come up with something new to do….and fast!

I made my own easel for the kiddos to use coloring!  I knew they would not want to sit at the table to color, so the easel worked great.  I used an empty moving box.  I taped construction paper to each side.  I gave the crayons.  They went to town!  It was great!  There was nothing to ruin.  The kids were able to move and change without it being a problem.  They didn’t have to fight.  They were just able to have fun!

It’s amazing how fifteen minutes of fun can change a day!  I’m so glad the kids were able to have fun with something new and different.  I’m certain I’ll pull another box out when the kids are bored and it’s nasty outside.  I think I’m going to try “pudding painting”  soon too!  However, it might not be until it’s hot enough to do outside!  Then, I can just hose the kids off when they’re finished!

After they finished coloring, it was a great place to play inside!

I love you all.
