Do you want to know how to entertain kids for about an hour? Make a big ice cube with toys inside and have them melt it to get the toys out. I let them have a metal spatula to chip at it. They had to work on it for 5 minutes to earn a glass of hot water. They used their brains to figure out other ways to try and melt the ice. They threw it. They licked it. They tried a rag to heat it up. It was neat to watch them think it all out.
We had also made a trail mix, added chocolate chips, melted it together and put it in the fridge to harden. The kids loved it. They had already eaten some of it before we melted it together the previous day. While they worked on the ice, they also got some of the trail mix hardened. I took some pictures of Caleb eating it.
Isn't he a cutie! It was fun to have someone Titus' age around for him to play with.
