Salt Drawing

Here's a super simple activity that Smooch loves.  For those moments when I just need her to sit still for a few minutes. So I can attend to WeeMan, or start dinner, or just take a little sanity break.

Items needed:
1 jelly roll pan (or other large pan with sides)
Salt
dry hands or Q-tips for drawing
IMAGINATION!

Just doodle in the salt with fingers or Q-tips, then shake the pan to erase and start again! Voila -- quiet toddler!  

as you can see, wet/ damp hands = a little more clean-up
