Another Snow Day!

We had our third snow day of the year today!
Unlike a few nights ago, when it was well below zero, today was much warmer.

The snow that keeps falling is heavy and sticky!
It is perfect for sculpting, rolling snow balls, and building forts.

A question was posed on my Facebook wall today:
"What "tools" do you make available for the children to use?"

I'd love to give her more input, than just my own.

What is your favorite thing to do in the snow?  Please join in on the discussion.

Our snowy days have consisted of a quick bluster and then it quickly melts within the hour. So my linky shows how we still played with the snow whild dealing with a soggy wet and muddy playground. We took it inside! :))

What Would You Do With It? Wednesday #4, Cardboard Tubes (Toilet Paper, Paper Towel, etc)

By
Welcome to this week's edition of What Would You Do With It? Wednesday. This week's item(s) are paper tubes. You most often find them at the end of a roll of toilet paper or paper toweling. I'm having trouble hunting up the photos I was going to post for this, so when I find them, I will add them.

Making Moon Mud!

By
We usually make our moon sand with cornstarch , sand, and baby oil. However a blog reader commented that when they make their moon sand- they use water instead of oil.  So, of course, my first thought was- why make moon sand when you could make MOON MUD?  And so you have it- our homemade moon mud! Basically, it ends up being a sandy- runny oobleck! It acts kind of like a solid- and kind of like a liquid..... Now, I'm sure I will get all kinds of questions on the exact recipe and proportions to make this stuff.....  The truth is, we rarely measure. We just mix it up until it looks and feels about right! Today, we made ours with too much water. (It was an experiment.) So, we removed some off the top.  After we were done playing in the mud- we let it sit. A little bit more of the water evaporated while we napped.... Then, this afternoon- It was perfect! Hard as a rock on the bottom, until you dig into grab it... Then....
