Transitions are hard for #toddlers so I threw together a quick #ToddlerScience activity (so that I could turn off the tv without a meltdown πŸ˜…)

Various food dye colors in a plastic ice tray, covered with baking soda. On the side, a bowl of vinegar with two pipettes.

We have done this one a few times now, she always enjoys it πŸ‘©β€πŸ”¬

The before picture: An ugly, old baking sheet with a white plastic ice tray. The tray has food dye in each cube, covered with baking soda. There is a pink bowl filled with vinegar, with two plastic pipettes sticking out.The after picture: An ugly, old baking sheet with a white plastic ice tray. The tray has a little liquid in each compartment, each with a different color. There is a pink bowl which previously held the vinegar - but it is empty now.

My #outside loving #toddler is inside today since everything in the #PNW is #ice

We passed a little time with #RainbowRice #SensoryPlay

Held her attention for a good amount of time!

A toddler sits on the floor, playing with a container of rainbow rice. She is wearing a white dress with purple, pink, and teal stars and hearts. Her face is not pictured but her hair is peeking out at the top of the photo - light brown, down to her shoulders. In each hand, she has a red measuring cup filled with rainbow rice. She’s scooping and pouring away. There is a bit of rainbow rice spilled out of the contain, on a big grey sheet where she is set up to play.
