flour power feb 07












I was recently reading an online parenting website called BabyCenter.com -they often send me useful e-mail updates about fun developmental activities to do with baby. Well, one of the suggested activities was called FLOUR POWER .

see this site for more info about the activity itself:

The link tells you all the technical stuff.....how baby benefits from this game (helps to develop fine motor skills) and what to be careful of (baby must be supervised AT ALL TIMES so she doesn't breathe in any flour).



The photos, on the other hand, speak for themselves!!! Delaney was totally into it, and mommy and daddy got a real kick out of watching her make a huge mess on the kitchen floor, which we had the foresight to cover with newspaper. We simply supplied the flour and the sifter, and sat back for a half hour as she just went with it. Clean up was a breeze, both cleaning up baby and cleaning the floor. We dumped the newspaper in the garbage and Delaney finished playtime in her little tub!

FLoUr PoWeR, BaBy!!!!!!
