Last week I was so sick of hearing them fight over every toy so I cleaned out an under the bed storage bin and dumped in all the pasta we had.

Yesterday I bought 5x 900g bags of pasta; wagon wheel, macaroni, etc. I so want to get dried beans eventually to add to it. They love it.

A bit messy but you just sweep it up and dump it back in. I make sure the floor is clean beforehand so that no unwanted crumbs and dirt sneak in when it's time to sweep it all up.

Love it! I bet they can play with it for hours before getting tired of it!!!
The coloured pasta was a great idea!!!!!

What You’ll Need:

• Container of dirt (the kids sifted the dirt to remove any clumps of dirt, rocks, etc.)
• Carrots cut out of orange paper
• Carrot tops cut out of green paper
• Grey or light colored paper for background
• Water
• White Glue (2 spoonfuls)
• Spoon

What The Kids Will Do:

1. Glue carrots to paper

2. Add water to the dirt, making mud.
3. Sensory experience ~ Let the kids play in the mud. Encourage them to describe how the mud feels (icky, wet, cold, squishy). My kids wanted no part of this. The one time I wanted them to play in the mud, they said “No way, YUCK”!
4. Add the glue until the mud is the consistency of paint (ours was a little too thick.)
5. Using hands or a spoon, cover the carrots with mud.

6. Glue tops on carrots.

I guess I don’t need to add ~ you might what to do this craft outside!
