I kept thinking, "OMG, if I did that with my 3 year old, the rice would be in every nook and cranny of our house!". It's a fantastic idea that I've seen other friends utilize before though, so I need to figure out how to make it work.Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18164350893566193611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11218937.post-54081730165789907232010-01-22T09:14:05.979-08:002010-01-22T09:14:05.979-08:00Suggestion:

Then I dump in a couple hundred plastic balls for them to roll in. This keeps them busy for nearly two hours and lets them get exercise!Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033823622722768455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11218937.post-6197162111212997082010-01-21T22:27:48.721-08:002010-01-21T22:27:48.721-08:00Oh mama, and you think they are not listening to y...Oh mama, and you think they are not listening to you!

They color the rice somehow and it's always the most popular attraction in the room. Since we're in for at least another week of this rain, maybe I'll give it a try!
