I remembered reading several months ago about a potato and jell-o art project. You are supposed to cut a potato in half and cut out a shape into the potato. Then, you dip it into the jell-o powder and stamp it on paper. We tried it out this afternoon, and it didn't work so well, but the kids still had fun making a mess. I also skipped the step of cutting out a shape into the potato, and just let them dip it into the powder and smear it around onto the paper. They lost interest in this pretty quickly though. You can sort of see their orange smears in this picture...
So, it was on to the next messy project. Since we already had a sheet out on the kitchen floor, and they were already dirty, I decided to let them "cook." I gave them little bowls of flour and water, and a bigger bowl to pour those "ingredients" in. Then, they stirred it all up with their spoons. They, of course, each had their own bowl to stir. They loved dumping in the flour and kept asking for more "fow-fue." Eventually, they got a little bored so Scott added some green food coloring which got them excited again. They kept stirring and saying "cook." It was fun! But, once they decided they were done they started roaming around the kitchen leaving little green spots everywhere. So, it was time for a bubble bath!
We are hoping for nicer weather tomorrow so we can spend a lot of time outside.
In house news, we now have toilets! Our builder called yesterday and said Lowe's was having a huge sale on some Kohler toilets (1/2 off!) He bought the 3 that we'll need, which ended up saving us $450.
