As Cason is getting older, I'm trying to incorporate some arts and crafts along with other sensory activities. It was starting to get boring sitting in the living room playing with the same toys every day, so I decided it was time to change things up a bit.
There is a house being built down the street from us, so Cason and I walked down there and got some dirt to take home. We took it out in the backyard and he dug right in. No pun intended! :) He loved putting his hands in it and picking it up. He also explored what would happen if he climbed into the tub. At one point the tub tipped back and he fell backwards dumping all of the dirt on his tummy and face. He just looked up and gave me a "what just happened" look. After dusting him off and rinsing the dirt out of his mouth, eyes, and nose, he was right back to crawling inside. For the next hour he sneezed dirt out of his nose!
Later that day, we finger painted in the backyard. This was his first time to finger paint and he wasn't too sure about touching the paint with his hands. He was amused by the foam brush and mainly used it to spread the paint.
Tasting the paint.
Time to clean up!
The finished product!
