Chances are that if you are a regular reader here, you’ve got a little one in your life and you enjoy finding new activities and crafts to do with them. Hey, me, too!
That’s why I was super excited to come home from our little trip to discover this awesome book waiting for me!
(I received a copy of 101 Kids Activities for review. All opinions are 100% mine. There are Amazon affiliate links in this post.)
101 Kids Activities That Are the Bestest, Funnest Ever!: The Entertainment Solution for Parents, Relatives & Babysitters!is jam-packed with great activities and crafts that are guaranteed to keep the cries of “I’m bored!” at bay.
As if that isn’t enough, the pictures are beautifully done and each activity comes with modifications for both younger and older kids. Love that!
The kids were as excited as I was when they saw the book, and in no time we were outside trying out the Fizzing Sidewalk Paint.

How we played with the Fizzing Sidewalk Paint
We chose to make three colors of sidewalk paint: green, purple, and red. (The possibilities are endless since it only takes a few drops of food coloring to create each color!)
We opted for the spoon approach instead of grabbing the paintbrushes. The kids LOVED using their spoons to drip the paint in swirls, puddles, and other shapes.

When I see neat things like this I wish I was a kid again or at least that my kids were still young enough to play with things like this!

Have to say I had as much fun splattering it around as they did! 🙂

Now that is just way too much fun.

It was! I was sad that we ran out of vinegar before we got to cover all our painted area, but we got a big gallon of it at the store for next time! 😉
