I gathered the ideas for a lot of these activities here if you're interested! Also check my pinterest page for other places I pulled ideas.
F is for Fizzle:
-Combine Baking Soda, Corn Starch and warm water to make goopy chalk paint (and food coloring or washable paint if you want it colored). Kingston loves blue, so everything we do ends up being blue. Let the kiddos go to town outside. Then just when they think the fun is over, bring out a spray bottle of vinegar. When they spray the chalk with vinegar it fizzes. Super fun, but smells bad. Especially if you're preggo.

Busy Activity:
-Butterfly catching: This game 'Elefun' was a gift from a dear friend for Kingston's 3rd Birthday. They have SO much fun with this game!!! Butterflies fly out the trunk and they try to catch them in the net.

H is for its freaking Hot Outside!
-ice painting: Froze ice cubes with food coloring and popsicle sticks in them. They used them to paint...and well, eat. The blue ice cube dyed Kingston's face for a few hours, so beware!

H is for HATs and HANDS:
-Busy Activity for 20 month old: Throw out a bunch of hats and let him go to town!
-Make hats out of our hands. Both kiddos weren't really too excited about this project, and took more prep from me, so probably won't do this one again...

Hats! |
I is for IGLOO:
-Although I know Kingston had no idea what an igloo was, he did enjoy eating and building with the marshmallows! Note: next time use smaller cups so that there's less area to cover for the igloo.

Field Trip:
One of our favorite places to go is the Phoenix Children's Museum! This place is a toddler's dream land. We went with my beautiful mother (aka Nana) and are now members. I suggest this to all parents in AZ!
