Sean and Aleece

Yes oatmeal. But he does not play with it while he is eating at the table. He plays with it on the floor in a plastic bin.

Aleece went out and bought some plastic stackable bins for Leif toys. At the same time she had this bright idea to pick up some oatmeal. Aleece put some oatmeal in one of the bins along with some little plastic animals. Leif plays in there for the longest time, the oatmeal is like a surrogate sand. We all know how much kids LOVE to play in sand, the oatmeal has the same effect. It’s also really easy to clean up.

Leif and I will play in that bin and sometimes we even use the plastic animals. I have to admit, it really is fun to just play with the oatmeal like it is sand.
