the easiest baby sensory bin

Oliver loves playing in different sensory bins, rice, moon sand, water beads, and a bunch of other things that Lydia isn't allowed to eat even though she wants to.  So, Lydia gets her own special bin and she can munch it all she wants.  

Cheerios!  

halloween squishy bags, baby fun

Lydia, like most any baby, is an explorer. This week I'm going to post a few fun baby things we've been making for her.

supplies
-Ziploc bags, we used quart size freezer bags
-hair gel
-duct tape
-stuff to put in the bag, we went with
some pumpkin erasers we had, some wiggly spiders
and we found a package of skeletons for $1 at Target
-glitter (totally optional) we skipped it this time
-assistant

upon opening the gel jar my assistant promptly
grabbed the lid and smashed in on her face

quick break for clean up

 

Back to squishy bag, as if instructions are really necessary...

-squeeze or scoop some gel into the bag

-throw in some stuff

-close

-seal with duct tape, we sealed all sides

all Lydia wanted to do was try to chew it
this isn't the best chew project

I used package tape to stick them on
the window.  They are less chewable there

and still very fun.  Oliver enjoys checking

them out also. 

 

10 months!

Please forgive me for being a day late. 

Lydia is a mover and a shaker these day, and laying down for a little photo shoot is pretty low on her priority list.
