"Flour" Power

 So I read about using flour to help kids practice writing their letters....a fun and easy activity that they would enjoy. This is true.  However.....I did not completely take into consideration the ramifications of the outcome with my children. 

Not known for their neatness what-so-ever....ok they're messy I admit it.... I didn't fully think this through before letting them just go to town with the whole flour thing. I had in my mind that this would be a quiet, neat, educational activity.

Let's just say that mama's clean up time was just a little lengthy 45 min. job. Not just the kitchen but also tiny white foot prints all through the hardwood in the house.  Ok....so not one of my most genius moments.

I will say though that the kids really did have a great time. Lots of laughter....which I am all about activities that my lovies have a good time together. 

Although my clean up time was way more than I would have liked it to have been....it was all in the name of fun....and what's wrong with a little bit of that! 

Oh and at least there was some letter writing going on......so I can count this as part of our homeschool......right? {grin}
