Chess, bears, and light

Graham and Parker asked me a day long to play with the beedals aka the plant water bead thingys. They are starting to fall apart and break easily. I bought them on amazon instead of at the water bead website. Oh well they were still fun. Anyhow, I wanted to let them play with some old glass chess pieces I had first. I scraped off the paper and felt bottoms so that the light would shine through them. Some are clear and some are clear frosted. I don't have all of the pieces anymore but they had fun with them! They added a few of the counting/color sorting bears into the mix and had a "bear party". It was cute. :). Then they played with the water beads but unfortunately they fell to pieces, so now it's definitely time for new ones. They really enjoy their evening light table time though, that's for sure!

Blocks, Counting Fruit, & Lightbox

I pulled some blocks out of the toy box that have translucent parts on them, for some light box play!

Graham and Parker are having a good time!! What a great way to make old toys new again!!

They were done after a while with the blocks and other items, so they asked to have the water beads out!!

The pics are a little mixed, the water bead pics were about 15 minutes after the blocks and other items.


























Sand Art Playdate back in August

Here are a few pics from a sand art playdate we had in August. It was a lot of fun but was hard to get pics so there are only a few.  I plan to let them play with the colored sand this week and do something fun with it on the lightbox. We have some little fruit shaped necklaces and bracelets left to do more sand art with this week too!
