Make Bathtub Paint

I love it when my kids get messy and enjoy their time without worring about anything else, i think it helps them build self-confidence, increase their creativity level and collect as many happy memories as they can so when they grow up just remembering these moments would make them smile :)

I'm glad that i found a list of helpfull activities for preschooler that i will post them for you after having the thumbs up from my kids.

What You Need:

1/3 cup baby shampoo per paint color
1 tablespoon cornstarch per paint color
Food coloring
Measuring cups, tablespoon, and stirring spoon
Plastic cups
Cotton swabs (optional, for use as paint “brushes”)

What You Do:

Have your child measure out and pour the baby shampoo into a plastic cup.

Next, ask him to add the cornstarch into the same cup and stir until the ingredients are mixed.

Help him carefully squeeze two drops of food coloring into the shampoo mixture and stir again.

Discuss with him the science behind what happened to the mixture when he added the cornstarch. Cornstarch caused the shampoo to thicken up, which helps it stick to smooth surfaces (like a bathtub) better.

Repeat steps 1-3 three more times to create other colors of paint. Place each color in its own plastic cup.

This is a great opportunity to talk about color mixing with your child. Show him how you can mix primary colors together to create new colors.

During bath time, encourage him to paint on the walls of the bathtub using his new paints. He can fingerpaint, or use the cotton swabs as paint “brushes.” Be sure to supervise while he paints so he doesn't get paint in his eyes, which can sting.

When bath time is over, help him clean the walls of the bathtub with a washcloth. This activity gives you clean tub walls and a clean child!

Strawberry with Mint Salad

When things become bad I always like to see the positive side of it, and when there is no positive side I start to remember the good times so I could feel happy again :)

Nowadays the weather is dusty :( Can`t do anything so I remembered one of the good times I had last month, where the weather was awesome. On one clear sunny day I went with my family to a farm where we can buy fresh mint and strawberries picked by us. So i decided to make a fruit salad out of them :D

The recipe:

cut the strawberries into halves and quarters and keep them in the fridge while making the mint syrup..

boil almost same amount of sugar and water while chopping the mint..

add the mint in them, let them boil..

put the syrup in the blender to blend it with ice..

add vanilla to it..

pour the syrup over the strawberries..

top with a whipped cream, yum :)
