86 | 80 | For your little ones, cover the bottom of a roasting pan with a shallow amount of coarse (also called Kosher) salt & offer your child some cars to drive through the salt. They can add what ever else that will stir their imagination to create roads, villages, stories. Rinse everything off afterwards to prevent corrosion. The salt can be saved and reused for this project is still clean. * If your child has open cuts on their hands this is not a good activity! | 2.6 to 6 | Medium parent involvement | 10 minutes to assemble materials, 5 minutes to rinse cars/toys used | Indoor or outdoor | Good an only child | Educational | No screens | Kosher Salt, small cars | 3/12/2020 13:30:55 | ruk3b723thhe3dmurnvxjpruk3b76ro7 | ||||||||||||||

91 | 85 | I often do water beads, which is a great distraction, but require a bit of prep. This also takes some prep, but if you have any flax seeds at home, you can make flax slime with 1/2 cup flax seeds & 2 cups water. This needs to be set in the refrigerator for 24 hours. You might want to take it out of the fridge for a bit before giving it to the kids just because it might be too cold. I also put some fish figurines in blue gelatin in muffin pans. You have to spray the muffin pan with cooking spray or they won't come out (I often make that mistake). | Preschool | Medium parent involvement | Some prep the night before using flax seeds, water beads or gelatin. | Indoor or outdoor | Good an only child | Educational | No screens | The beads are $8 for about 20,000. Flax seeds are about $2.50/lb. at Whole Foods. The gelatin is $1.88 for a box of 4 packets (I use 2 for a 6-muffin pan). | 3/12/2020 13:55:42 | awak4nksdlh3ecfr76azcawak4s9n8or | ||||||||||||||
