Well Summer has disappeared, but we're still having fun.
I have been digging out our indoor activities and finding wet weather gear. We got a bargain Kidorable ladybird raincoat at the charity shop for the bank-breaking amount of £2.29!
We've done lots of cooking together, baking, and of course playing Mario games - both on consoles and re-enacting it with soft toys.We made gingerbread men last week, Small loves sifting flour and even enjoys washing up afterwards, a habit I am definitely encouraging!
Tonight we spent about an hour in the bath after I made bath paints.
1) Squirt some shaving foam into each cup of a muffin tray
2) Add food colouring and stir until the colour is reasonably even
3) I also added vanilla essence to some and peppermint to others
He loved painting himself, the bath, the tiles... and then enjoyed using the shower to wash it all off again. He actually ended up playing in the bath for another half hour with the shower running, using a jug to "catch raindrops". It was a really lovely, relaxed way to spend the evening.
