There’s a bunch of great tips in the Creative Play: It’s For Everyone article. Some of our favorites:
- Make some Peanut Butter Play Dough your children can enjoy eating as much as they enjoy playing with it.
- Try a dollop of thick corn syrup and a couple drops of food coloring for Edible Finger Paint.
- Create a bathtub volcano with a tall plastic glass, baking soda, and vinegar.
There’s always the internet fav—soda & Mentos®. Click on the link above for detailed instructions.

What great ideas, the corn syrup and food coloring idea for edible finger paint is a good one. I’ve heard of using pudding, but never thought of that. And the Children’s Museum is such a neat place to take kids in and of itself. My sister and I took my son (he was about 20 months at the time), and 3 other kids, 3, 5 and 7 years old, and all of them had a great time for several hours.
