Winter time makes planning play dates even harder. What should you do with a handful of kids when you can't take them outside to be destructive? Awhile ago I got on my Pinterest with a mission: research and find fun/easy inside play date ideas. While doing this, I stumbled upon bird seed play. This is where you buy a giant bag of bird seed and dump it into your child's sandbox (instead of the sand). What a great idea!
Well our sandbox was covered with dirt and I didn't quite feel like washing it off. So I pulled out two empty big totes and one under-the-bed tote and dumped the seed into those. I got Rose's sand box tools and some other toys; and from my kitchen I brought out mixing bowls, spoons, a muffin tin, and some icecube trays. Needless to say, this play date was a success! Clean up wasn't too bad, other than the fact that I still find a stray seed here and there. All and all, it's a fun activity that is Rose-approved.
