Beating the Rainy Day Blues

This past week started off gorgeous, but very quickly the rain came and put a damper on things. If your child is anything like my toddler, then they've been suffering from the rainy day blues syndrome. Today  we've been focusing our energy on beating the rainy day blues.

We've been channeling our inner picasso's by painting with oatmeal and exploring the textures of dried pasta.

To do this activity all you need is:

• Construction paper
• Oatmeal
• Water
• Food colouring
• Dried pasta
• Glue
• Paint brushes

Simply make the oatmeal, add in a bit of glue and food colouring and let your child get as messy or artistic as their heart desires!

Once we finished up with our impromptu picassos session, we decided to have a dance party. My toddler enjoyed busting a move and tearing up the dance floor to some top 40 music.

It's been such a fun morning, and even better we've burned off so much energy that nap time is bound to be a huge success this afternoon... Leaving time for Momma to enjoy a much deserved break!
