I’ve decided to take a turn for a moment and post an activity. Who couldn’t use some activities to keep the little ones busy especially when we are stuck inside.
Do you have plastic toys that have some questionable cleanliness? Yup, we did. So I grabbed the baby soup, cut a sponge in half so we could share, and dumped some water in a bin.

After about 10 minutes, we added in dinosaurs and cars.
This is a great way to work on some simple phrases:
“pour in, dump out, ew! Wet!, more, wash _____”
Toy were cleaned, fun was had, language was integrated, and the “mess” was minimal!
