It's November, and we are starting to head into the dreaded months where the kids are stuck inside. Especially with all the COVID restrictions, this winter is going to be a brutal one. So, here's an idea to keep your kids busy for HOURS inside! I'm not going to lie, this one is a little bit messy, but in my opinion, it's totally worth it to keep them occupied for so long!
What You'll Need:
-dried beans
-different size tubs and bowls
-shovels, measuring cups, funnels, scoops
1: Get your dried beans in a big containers.
2: Give your kids different bowls and utensils to transfer the beans around in.
3: Let them go to town!
Activity Notes:
-to help with the mess, you could put a tarp or a table cloth underneath to try to keep the beans contained.
-my boys thought it was super fun to get some toy cars and bury them. Add any kind of small toys to keep them busy longer!
-if you don't have dried beans, dried wheat or oats would be a great alternative.
-you can buy a pack of plastic funnels at walmart for less than a dollar!
