I was thinking of using that Cloud stuff (Flour and Oil) and turning into a gold and gem dig… do you think that will work??

Isn’t it amazing how a new venue or a change of scenery can put such an exciting spin on an old idea? Like you said – they’re surrounded by snow outside, but bring it inside, and it’s a whole new ballgame!

Just recently I brought our water table in the house and filled it with snow. I have to say I totally underestimated the interest the kids would have in it. I thought with all the snow we have to play in outside, what really would be the difference. But they loved it. They were so engrossed in play that there was total silence for half an hour. That’s pretty unheard of around here. Love the idea of hunting for gems. Will definitely try that.
