Summer is in full swing around here & although the little man maintains his weekly morning schedule of school and book club, afternoons continue to fill themselves with all the joys that summer offers.
Swimming, painting, farmers markets & beach trips are weekly musts. Now for all that time in between...
Awhile ago we did a re-purpose crayon project here, where we used plastic molds to create unique crayon shapes. Today little hands finding themselves inside & longing to stay busy began searching through the arts & crafts cabinet where they came upon said molds. Shortly thereafter they found a box marked "Chalk" hiding behind the clay.
And so, we started with this...
and ended with this...
I know that you can make chalk from scratch, but one day while perusing a little online shop here I found the ease of 1-click, free priority mail, instant rainy day activity quite appealing.
This afternoon was the perfect time to brush up on our color-mixing abilities, following instructions & mean counting skills. We'll get to the from scratch version someday.
How are you enjoying your summer?
