Sponge Balls!

We are going to stick with our tot school boxes from last week.  We only used them twice.  Between the weather being beautiful and A having an ear infection, they didn't get much use.

I'm actually thinking about scaling way back on the tot school for the summer. I always had the thought in the back of my head, but now I know we'll just spend tons of time outside this summer and that's just fine with me!  I will still put a few activities in her school bins as she regularly goes over to them and says, "school!"  They'll just be made up of things I already have made and are quick to throw together.

This week I hosted a playdate with a craft for the mamas to make.  We made sponge balls from Family Fun magazine.  Of course I didn't take any pictures of everyone making them, but here is a photo of the sponge balls being used:

 you can go here for instructions how to make your own.  They are super easy to make and A enjoys using them both in and out of the water!
