My daughter had a moustache. A bonafide, clear-as-day moustache. It wasn’t milk, it was flour.
Kids often have more fun with simple household items than with toys. My toddler recently discovered flour and is all kinds of crazy for playing in the white dust for hours. Yes, I said hours. This is good, very, very good!
I set up a play table with a muffin tin, bowls and plastic cups, a cookie scoop, and a few other odds and ends from my kitchen and let her go to town in the flour. She got to tie on a cute apron, and get her hands dirty- kids love that! I loved having a few minutes to tidy up and cuddle with my wee baby.
Sure, she had flour in every nook and cranny around the kitchen and wore that ‘stache like a regal gentlelady, but the sensory playtime and fun she had was well worth the time spent cleaning up. Honestly, it only took a few minutes to get it all up off the tiled floor.
Next time you’re short on toddler play activities, bust out the flour and let the fun begin!

I couldn’t let my toddler go at it in the kitchen, but I’ll do this outside this spring!
Thanks for joining the WWDParty! Please remember to link to us so we can feature and share great posts like this!
I often do that same thing. We did a jello play activity out in the yard. So much easier to clean up! Thank you for stopping by this weekend, Annette. Thought I had your party listed on my link parties page. Will double check. Thanks for the heads up.
This a cute activity for a toddler and I know she enjoyed herself. Thank you for sharing and linking up at #WWDParty. Have a wonderful weekend.

Thank you, Constance! We have lots of fun with it.
So cute! Looks like a fun mess 🙂 I’ll be doing this with my daughter this week for sure since we are practically snowed in.
How cute, I love this idea. We’re going to be cooped up inside for the next couple of days, I think I may bust out the flower for my toddler.
I sure hope your toddler has a blast with it, Sarah! It’s a great indoor activity and also lots of fun outside too.
Oh you are a brave woman indeed. I wish I could be more relaxed about mess. I will think about trying this outside when it gets a bit warmer. Thanks so much for sharing with the Monday Pin It Party. I have pinned and shared.
This is such a great idea, my little ones would have a ball with this! Thanks for sharing and for linking up at the Weekend Wind-Down Party with us!!! God Blesss!
