Unplugged Sand
Tuesday, September 16, 2008
Last week's unplugged theme was sand. Paige loves sand, so I knew she'd enjoy pretty much whatever we did. We actually didn't do much of a project - I just used it as an excuse to try a new product that I thought she'd like, Moonsand. Turns out a little container of it is just over $3, and it comes in a color called Rocket Red. Red is her favorite color and the color of Rocket on Little Einsteins, whom she loves, so that was good enough.
I gave her the container of sand on Saturday morning and she went to town with it. She asked for it several times over the weekend. She seemed to like dumping the container upside down so the sand would come out molded, like a sand castle. She said it was a cake, and then she'd cut the cake with one of her knives from her play kitchen. She loved this game.
I also got a new camera this week, so I played a lot with my new toy while she played with hers. :)

Just look at that smile! We have the moonsand, too. But I think my little one is still a bit too little to really enjoy it. She always wants it to behave like playdoh. It's good to know she might grow into it!

I forgot that we had this sand too! I'll have to pull that out for the boys. Sometimes it's the simplest things that keep them the most entertained!

Great pictures! There is something about sand, or "moon sand," that is totally mesmerizing. Paige looks ver content.
