Snow play: Tray of snow, colored water (with food coloring?), paint brushes. And presumably, a mop to clean up all the snow that ends up on the floor. :)

Shaving Cream paint... shaving cream + tempera paint = no running or spilling, and can be adapted to use with a brush or as fingerpaint

So cute! This is made from condiment bottles (from things that had expired found when cleaning out the fridge!), covered with paint on the inside (let kids shake until the entire surface is covered), then puffy paint on the outside. We could do "fall", "autumn", or even our last name...

Painting with Condensed milk?? It dries glossy and doesn't drip. But doesn't it spoil??

Rocks in a warm oven for ~10 min, once they're cool enough to handle, color with crayons... Great cooler weather activity!

Outline a picture with black glue (black paint + glue), let it dry, then use water colors for a beautiful stained glass picture. Good idea for Grandparent gifts?

Story Telling Stones: I think I've seen this idea before, but never thought of using images from favorite books. Wonder if you could color copy pages and glue figures onto rocks, allowing your kids to tell the story with the stone. SO CUTE.

This may be my favorite activity idea ever - a superhero (or any theme that goes along with small toys your kids have) scavenger hunt. So fun!

Fetching pins…
Betsy Rubendall Yes! At the Omaha Children's Museum both Anna and Ellery were put in a bubble like this. I have pics and can show you tonight! I also have their "bubble jiuce" recipe pinned.
