Today was a pretty laid back day. Red Fish spent a whole bunch of time coloring, playing with stickers and playing with her play dough. She requires a lot of stimulation and pretty much always has to be doing some sort of project. I was looking for something easy to do with her and found this project on my list.

1/3-cup sugar
4 cups cold water
Combine in a pot and heat. Stir constantly and when it starts to thicken, remove it from heat. It makes sort of a white gel. Divide it into three bowls and add food coloring to each bowl. We stuck with the primary colors. Put some of two colors into a seal-able sandwhich bag. I taped the top shut because I knew Red Fish would try and open it. Then I gave it to her to start squishing and mix the colors. She loved squishing the bag. I'm not sure she even understood that we were combining the color to create a new one but that will come later. For now it was just a nice clean project. She was especially excited about the purple. I let her squish the bags for quite awhile until she popped them.

I still don't know where you get all the energy to do this stuff! Although, this project doesnt' seem too bad.
New Fish is sooo cute! I can't wait to see her!
I agree, I am tired thinking of all the fun things that you do with your girls. What a cute mom you are.
