It will probably end up being when the weather isn't being bipolar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-activity-week-of-224#post-1460191 Sat, 01 Mar 2014 11:55:56 +0000 rattles 1460191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm bookmarking these ideas for the summer! It's so cold here that I can't have her in just a diaper, even indoors! I did do the colored ice cubes with her last summer. She was a little small, but I bet she'd love it now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-activity-week-of-224#post-1460104 Sat, 01 Mar 2014 10:51:34 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1460104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She did it! As soon as I gave it to her she said "ok momma now go away". </p> [attach=1506/14/n1rle1.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-activity-week-of-224#post-1449907 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 22:59:15 +0000 Running Elley 1449907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: Yay!! Elliot definitely did some dumping too lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-activity-week-of-224#post-1449884 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 22:48:45 +0000 mrskc 1449884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: did the chalk paint today! </p> <p>He enjoyed it. I don't think he got the concept. He liked to dip the brushes in the paint and stir. He spilled 2 of the cups not even 30 seconds into it. I filled them up with a little water and then he ended up dumping it on himself. Lol he mostly enjoyed running around with the brush and cups. </p> [attach=684/14/n1l3xd.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-activity-week-of-224#post-1447367 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 00:32:48 +0000 immabeetoo 1447367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: @birdofafeather: the high for thursday predicted here? -2. Let me say that again. -2. So, technically we could do the ice cube one, outside, with the chalk paint :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-activity-week-of-224#post-1447357 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 00:24:17 +0000 birdofafeather 1447357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: @scg00387: totally doing the outside one just to rub it in.... Except we really need rain here!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-activity-week-of-224#post-1447275 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 22:57:36 +0000 Running Elley 1447275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: LOL sorry!!! At first I just assumed that people in the colder areas could still paint outside but once I thought more about it it seemed less likely. Oops!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-activity-week-of-224#post-1447224 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 22:12:20 +0000 immabeetoo 1447224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fun, STOP RUBBING YOUR WARM WEATHER IN MY FACE!! :silly: :silly: :silly: I will freeze some colored ice cubes tomorrow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-activity-week-of-224#post-1447207 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 21:53:42 +0000 stargal 1447207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This looks like fun!

Is it bad I want to try it?! ;) My inner artist is coming out! I'll definitely be trying that one with DS when he is old enough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-activity-week-of-224#post-1445540 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 12:00:11 +0000 Running Elley 1445540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And for the ice cubes...</p> <p>The Good: He LOVED this. The whole time he was giggling. He had a complete blast. It was also really easy to set up.<br /> The Bad: He got pretty wet. Also, the activity can only really last until the ice cubes melt. For us it was about 10 minutes.<br /> The Ugly: The whole bucket of water got dumped onto my kitchen floor. </p> [attach=699/14/n1if8d.448x600.image.jpg] [attach=699/14/n1if8f.448x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-activity-week-of-224#post-1445526 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 11:56:33 +0000 Running Elley 1445526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Toddler's Age: 16.5 months<br /> The Good: This activity kept him occupied for a loooong time- 45 minutes +. I gave him various kinds of paintbrushes and he experimented with all of them. He used all the paint and asked for more so I just added more water to the cups so he could keep playing. It also washes off/out easily.<br /> The Bad: I don't think it's necessarily bad but its a pretty messy project.<br /> The Ugly: Eventually he wanted to experiment with painting on mommy lol. </p> [attach=699/14/n1if2a.448x600.image.jpg] [attach=699/14/n1if2d.448x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-activity-week-of-224#post-1445511 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 11:53:15 +0000 HLK208 1445511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fun! We'll try the indoor one this week :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-activity-week-of-224#post-1445500 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 11:51:14 +0000 Running Elley 1445500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sidewalk Chalk Painting</p> <p>-Mix together 2T water, 2T cornstarch and 5 drops food coloring<br /> -Provide paintbrushes in an outdoor area where your toddler can paint on the ground (sidewalk, driveway, patio, etc)</p> <p>And because I know the weather isn't conducive to playing outside in some areas here's an alternate activity!<br /> Colored Ice Cubes<br /> -Fill Ice cube tray with water. Add a drop of food coloring to<br /> the cubes. Freeze!<br /> -When cubes are set/frozen set up an area for your toddler to<br /> play with them. I filled a clear bucket with water, put the ice<br /> cubes in the water and set it on the kitchen floor on top of a<br /> large beach towel. Then I gave Elliot some spoons to play with<br /> them as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-activity-week-of-210#post-1444321 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 20:28:19 +0000 Periwinkle 1444321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Following! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-activity-week-of-210#post-1444310 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 20:21:54 +0000 Running Elley 1444310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I totally dropped the ball posting one last week because DH and I were sick but I have an activity ready that ill post tomorrow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-activity-week-of-210#post-1427734 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 18:18:17 +0000 rawrasaur 1427734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I finally got around to trying this today with random items we had on hand.<br /> The good: she was intrigued.<br /> The bad: only the q-tip held her attention. She messed the tape up pretty quickly.<br /> The ugly: my version. She steeped on it and was waking around with it stuck to her shoe.</p> <p>[attach=91/14/n143ej.600x450.20140216_171259.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-activity-week-of-210#post-1419388 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 22:44:32 +0000 rattles 1419388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried this today with LO. She was mildly interested, but she definitely preferred chomping on the q-tips. She looked like she had a cigarette hanging from her mouth while she stuck her palm to the packing tape over and over. Entertained, but not quite getting it. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-activity-week-of-210#post-1419170 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 20:59:46 +0000 Running Elley 1419170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: I'll volunteer for next week!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-activity-week-of-210#post-1419161 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 20:54:23 +0000 immabeetoo 1419161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: haha! my packing tape is super strong, but he hates the noise it makes when it's pulled so he didn't try that :)</p> <p>@Mrs. Lion: definite win!</p> <p>anyone volunteering for next week? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-activity-week-of-210#post-1419151 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 20:50:38 +0000 Running Elley 1419151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So fun!

He did carry the q-tips around the room for a while though, and we went back to play with the tape a couple times. I call that a win ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-activity-week-of-210#post-1418997 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 20:01:18 +0000 travelgirl1 1418997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooh I'll try this tomorrow - looks like fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-activity-week-of-210#post-1418953 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 19:40:01 +0000 birdofafeather 1418953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>unfortunately, this was a fail for us. she just ripped the tape off the table and tried to eat the q-tips. :( Maybe when she's older or if the tape were stronger? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-activity-week-of-210#post-1413703 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 09:48:37 +0000 cmomma17 1413703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: I love his shirt!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-activity-week-of-210#post-1413694 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 09:45:48 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1413694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ooh this looks like fun!
