Sink of Snow

A snow day with Mom + little boys = the need for creativity!  I do not have snow gear for "K," (maybe next year), and "L" really would not enjoy hanging out in the snow at this stage of his life.  So..... bring the snow to the sink, was my idea of the afternoon!

Here is how easy it is to do for yourself: I filled two ice cream buckets with snow.  I gathered the snow during nap, and kept the filled buckets outside on the porch.  After nap, I put the stopper in the sink, and dumped the snow out of the buckets.  We grabbed some stacking cups and several spoons, and the play ensued.  I think we had about 20 minutes, or maybe 30, of fun.  Then "K" exclaimed, "Cold!!"  So, we called it good for the day!
