What a mess ?!
One of my kids favorite time when i let them playing with mud some sand and some buckets of water and watch them imagine funny things some times they dig and imagine they are building a house and so on .
I am happy too but some times i think what if i said NO they become sad and their soul become full of negative energy and come out as tantrums , siblings fight , annoying behaviors so i look at them when their cloths covered by mud and say “take it easy it’s just a shower and wash cloths it’s over ” to my self
I’m searching for activities away from electronic devices and make my kids happy too So when it possible let your kids play with sand and you’ll see the happiness on his face and if it isn’t possible to go outside you can buy kinetic sand it’s amazing , but if your kids feel disgusting search for another messy activity he would love and watch him and take your coffee beside him and enjoy ..
