Critter and Cubes- water play
We love to play in water over here. It is a great way for both my boys to play at the same time together. They are 3yr and 1yr and it is hard to find things they both can do together. That’s part of why we love water play so much. It is also a great way to cool off during our hot summer.
Critter and Cubes- water play
What I did was set out 3 bowls with different critters- frogs, snakes, and lizards are what we had. I had ice cubes I froze with food coloring and lemon in the freezer and just pulled a few out. This added color and scent to our tub of water. We have a little pool but they love this Rubbermaid i pulled out one day for our tub of balls and bowls activity. We have been playing with it since.
They enjoyed checking out the critters and cubes. I think they were wondering what we were going to do now!
They enjoy helping with the hose to fill the tub. Little brother got his own turn and was in heaven. Great way to practice team work.
This is a great sensory play activity. They also practiced scooping and pouring.
You can never go wrong with just a water hose. Both my boys love it!I love that they played together in the hose. Little brother was the “car wash” and big brother was the “car”. I hope that me and my boys hold these memories in our hearts forever.
They always have to get in the tub!

They look like they are having SO much fun!
It’s amazing how much delight water play causes. My daughter loves to help wash dishes. We haven’t tried the scented colored ice cubes yet. Need to do that! Fun photos!

Those pictures of your littlest holding that hose are priceless! Love how you invited such open-ended play. Way to go, Mama! Thanks for sharing with the Kids Co-Op!
I got a chuckle out of how the hose seemed to be as much fun as the activity! My daughter is the same way with the hose. We love playing with animals and water too, but have never added ice to our play. Great idea!
Thank you for sharing at the Outdoor Play Party!
Lots of fun! My little guy has had a blast with ice and water this summer. He, too, cannot be trusted with the hose! 🙂
