On Tuesday, at 8:23am, we started with this...
By 9:03am we'd created this ...
I pinned this idea from toddlerapproved.com. Toddler Approved drew theirs on butcher paper. I happen to have these super sturdy white boards sitting in our playroom for months. I can't even remember where they came from but I thought they were perfect for this game. I duct taped the boards together and drew on some shapes. The kids helped too. The kids come up with their own "games" for this but I would call out the shape or color, or both, then the kids would jump to it.
TIP: When doing projects like this, go ahead and let your kids do it the way they want to do it. It doesn't have to be "perfect". Ethan drew a really fantastic circle, all on his own, then he scribbled all over it with marker. I fixed it up later by coloring it in with blue.
Zoey drew some shapes on with green crayon too. Then she smeared green finger paint all over. I cleaned it up when she lost interest. It looked sloppy and messy but that's fine!

MOVING ON!
www.projectgreenify.com was where I pinned the idea for this masterpiece...
My totally awesome husband finished building this house around 12:30pm. Then I built the shelf (the shelf was Zoey's Idea).
AN HOUR AND A HALF LATER...
The kids and I were filling balloons with rice, oatmeal, water, beans, play-doh... you name it. Tot Treasures gave me the pin for this Gem..

STEP 1
Fill a plastic squeeze bottle with your choice of stuffing. My man picked coffee beans.
STEP 2
Blow up the balloon and pinch the end shut.
STEP 3

HOLY COW You guys! I am tired just thinking back to all this. (It being 11pm right now has nothing to do with me being tired right?)
At 3:00pm we were making block puzzles on the walls and door with painters tape.
Special thanks to Not Just Cute for this fun game.

5:30PM - Our Grand Finale for the day was all Zoey's Idea. I was cleaning up and asked her, "What should I do with all these balls we have Zo?"
