Water + child = hours of fun

All three kids spent a good 2+ hours this afternoon playing with buckets of water, measuring cups, and soup ladles. Don't believe all of the glitzy toy marketing; your kids will be happiest with things that cost the least.

  1. That's what we use as a "water table" as too! Between the water and the sandbox my son hasn't really come inside the last few days except to eat and nap :)

  2. We did that yesterday too. It is amazing that they can't play with the same toy for more than a few minutes but can play with a cup and a bucket of water for an hour.

  3. I have used the bowl of water and measuring cups with both kids and it is truly the best summer toy ever!

  4. What a great idea! I'm saving it for when it gets warmer for sure.

    BTW I love Inga's chubby little feet! :D

  5. I do this all the time when I need a distraction to get dinner ready. I actually got the idea when I couldn't get her to stop playing with the dog's water bowl! I put down a large towel and fill my largest roasting pan with an inch or two of water. My daughter loves it!
