Lets face it, kids get bored so easy!

so I decided i need to sort out a few activities for Siiena as all i hear is 'im bored' which i totally cannot blame her as today was a boring day for me too!

Here are 5 activities that kids will love!

Chalk Spray

You will need:

1 tsp. washable paint

1 cup of hot water

1/2 cup of cornstarch

1 squirt of washing up liquid

Spray bottle

1. Add cornstarch to one cup of hot water whisking to mix so that there are no clumps. 

2. Add one teaspoon of washable tempura paint and a quirt of dishwashing liquid. Mix well. 

3. Pour it into your squirt bottles and shake well. Watch your kids enjoy making designs and pictures on your driveway. After you let your spray sit a while it will separate. Shake it really well before you use it each time.

White Crayon & Water Paints.

This is a great way to tell eachother your feelings but in a fun way.

Write a little note to your child in white crayon and let them discover it by painting over it with water paints.

I love this idea!
