Bowls + Water + Kids = Happy

By Jen

The sun is out, the kids want to play outside, our backyard is the size of a box of matches...what's the solution? I learned this little trick when my eldest daughter was 18 months old. Kids don't need much.

a few bowls
a few toys
take it outside
add water and have hours of fun!

    It always amazes me how my kids can spent an afternoon playing with a few toys and a bowl of water on the front porch. I love your post! Thanks for sharing.

    Happily following you from It's Playtime! I would love it if you would stop by my blog and say hi, and maybe consider following me! 🙂
