Colourful Water Play

I used to do this when the kids were little. I dug out an old pic from 6 years ago. Aww, bless! Look at them!

All you need

• Bowls or plastic containers
• Food Colouring 
• Water
• Cups/spoons/plastic cups/plastic toys/paint brushes/spray bottle (things like that to add to the play)

Note: I only use a few drops so it’s very diluted and I don’t find it stains hands (unless a lot of colouring is used)

Ideas

• ‘Paint’ the driveway or house walls. 
• Mix colours
• General water play
• Add plastic figurines. Could be a special watering hole for My Little Pony or Lalaloopsy dolls.
• Add coloured water to a spray bottle and the kids can ‘add colour’ to the garden.
• Hang up an old sheet or towel on the clothesline and the kids can spray or paint it with coloured water.
• ‘Mix’ and ‘Bake’ the water with spoons.
• Add sand, mud, flowers to make a ‘magic potion’.
• Challenge the kids to make something pretty. Maybe float leaves or petals in the water.
