The weather is getting colder here, so to warm myself up I have created a photo essay of all our fun messy play summer antics. My girls love, love, love messy play and I love the joy on their faces when they explore with water, mud, paint, shaving foam and goop.

| We play with mud |
 |
| We paint |
 |
| We mix water with food colouring |
 |
| We experiment |
 |
| We cook with flour and glitter in the outdoor kitchen |
 |
| We play with shaving foam |
 |
| We paint some more |
 |
| We garden |
 |
| We go crazy for water |
 |
| We make grass and flower soup |
 |
| We jump in muddy puddles |
 |
| We splash around in goopy mixtures |
 |
| ... and then we eat some ice cream |

Aww, Ali...there's nothing better than being a kid with a Mommy as creative as you! My twitter friends will get a kick out of these messy fun photos! Thanks for sharing...Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! You're certainly a rockstar teacher!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Deborah. You have just made my day!!
DeleteWoW! How much fun have they been having!?! Love the picture with the ice cream smiles! I can't wait for summer to really begin here.
ReplyDeleteYes I think the ice cream is always their favourite bit!!
DeleteHey I love the free play you and your kids enjoyed! And what a lovely space you have. So lucky of you. I love the water hose. It was my favorite play as kid.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mansi. Hoses are the best but we can't let them run around with it on when there are water restrictions.
DeleteOh wow, what fun! Great ideas, thank you xx
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment.
DeleteLook at what an awesome mom your kiddos have!! So fun and SO messy! They look like they are having a blast! I love the food coloring/water on the cardboard. We have a huge piece of cardboard I've meaning for us to paint on. Today might be the day!
ReplyDeleteYes they loved splashing the cardboard with colour. It keep them busy for ages.
Deleteoh heaven. Love these photos. So great to see kids getting really messy and loving it
ReplyDeleteThank you. They just love to get messy!!
