They are so precious, so wonderful... and so messy!! I will quite frequently go from cleaning the living room of my home, to cleaning the kitchen, and when I've come back to the living room, it's DISASTROUS!! Books and toys are out, shoes have somehow made their way out of the shoe bin, and coats have been pulled down from the coat rack. So, I thought this week for your Humpday Help I'd share a couple of very fun activities to keep your dear little ones busy while you are busy:
Temporarily turn your dining room table or another small kids table into a very small, very contained chaos table:

Moon sand, I have found, is very quick and easy to make. Plus, it will keep the kids busy for HOURS!!!! Click here to get the recipe (note: corn flour in Australia is the same thing as corn starch in the U.S.).

This website, first of all is in Spanish or something, so if you can read and understand Spanish then you're set. If you don't know Spanish, don't worry... the pictures are pretty self explanatory. Just a couple of erasers and a couple of minutes of your time will keep the little ones occupied for a good deal of time! Plus, I LOVE that it's easy enough for toddlers to do on their own! If you're really crafty you can even use this idea for some of your scrap booking.

These activities will not only keep them busy long enough to be able to get some of the house cleaned up but maybe even long enough for you to have some bon-bon's and catch up on the latest episode of Grey's!
Hope this is helpful for you on Humpday Help!
Your slightly obsessed host,
Christi
