Do you have one of these?
Sometimes this little person does some very sneaky things (like the time she decided to play 'cups of tea' in the toilet), so I love finding easy activities to keep her busy.
Here is a fun idea (thanks to Playcentre) that has kept her very busy and very 'un-sneaky'. It also has a really great learning aspect that can get all sorts of deep scientific conversations and questions going.
Take some plastic animals (or little plastic toys), and freeze them in small or large containers of water. When they are frozen, slip them out of the containers and let your little one loose with a small meat hammer (or a real hammer if you are game) and take a large step back and watch the fun unfold.
Heaps of fun for kids of all ages (and adults too).
p.s. we are planning to paint our back porch very soon - so excuse the peeling paint.
p.p.s. check out have kids will travel... a very cool site (designed by the amazing Sophie) all about travel, including our trip to Israel mentioned here!
