dinosaur island!
Okay I have to post this project from last weeekend because well, it's the coolest thing we have ever done and it so deserves it's own blog post. In fact it was so cool and amazing that, at the end of the day before bed, my little guy SOBBED in my arms when it to be taken apart.
Yes kids sobbing shouldn't be a happy thing but it made it all worth it.
It started with this post from a crazy, amazing mom who is now on my blog stalking list.
And here's what we did.
First using recylables including a pizza box with a pyrex dish cut into it and lots of tin foil (I ended hot gluing some of the boxes and tinfoil together which helped make it a solid unit)
And a million homemade playdough batches later and it became this:
We went rock hunting, found bugs and spiders at the dollar store (perfect timing with Halloween, used lego plants and bushes and snakes and sharks. The ferns and plants were another dollar store find. The lake was a hit, especially with the baby and the blue food color made it that much cooler. It got pretty slimey at the end of the day but everything stayed together pretty well.
Did I mention LOTS of homemade playdough batches?
And the coolest part yet that made the boys FREAK
Daddy got in on the fun too :) Daddys pretty cool but not as cool as mommy.
