Water Play

If there is one thing Piggy loves more than food, it would have to be water.  She loves to drink it, splash in it, and play in it.  No matter where the water came from.  Seriously.  I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve had to drag her away from the toilet and freshly watered plants.  I slowed her down by putting a lock on the toilet seat, but it wasn’t long before she had that thing figured out.  So with all of Piggy’s enthusiasm for water, I decided to come up with a way for her to play in it while I fix dinner, do dishes, work on my school work, something.  It keeps her out of my hair until she gets bored with it.  So far, we have yet to reach that limit and she’s gone an hour straight.

All you need for this Funday Sunday is a sheet pan, some water proof toys, and, of course, water!  Oh, and some towels.  If you’re worried about getting water on your floors, put a towel down first.  Put the sheet pan on top of the towel, pour enough water to have about a quarter of an inch of water, place in toys.  DONE!  I took off Piggy’s clothes but left on a clean diaper so I didn’t have to worry about her getting soaked and roaming around the house like that.  Ok, so maybe not everything I put in the water was a toy.  But what can I say?  She loves spoons.







What’s your child’s favorite out-of-the-box thing to play with?
