Lucas is loving water play these days, so we got him a little tiny tiger in a cage that slowly expands whe you soak it in water. He was so excited to pour water in it and watch it grow. He's been carrying around the little cage telling us that his tiger will grow big. When asked just how big the tiger will he get - he roars at us :) I guess it will get big enough to roar like a real tiger.
This is an activity I found on-line somewhere. Get really cheapy shaving cream and pour it on the table along with a glob of tempera paint to mix it with. Lucas loved mixing the the paint/shavig cream and seeing what new colors were made (we used red and yellow paint) He stuck his hands in it to play, but it kind of freaked him out a little and he started waving his shaving cream covered hands around trying to get it off... Hmm.. It was definitely not an easy clean-up sort of project. I had to scrub shaving cream/paint off of the walls, toys, the rug, the drapes, the entire bathroom... It turn out that washable paint just isn't that washable... Yeah, definitely not easy clean up :) But oh so worth it - we will definitely be doing that again soon!
Lucas found this itty bitty bird house when we were out at the store the other day, so of course it had to follow us home :) And who doesn't love painting birdhouses??? Lucas's favorite part was trying to paint the little perch.
This is the finished birdhouse and the tiger on the grow, sitting on the windowsill.
