You Can’t Always Throw Them In the Sink

Not the dishes, the kids. My kids love kitchen sink baths while I load and unload the dishwasher and wipe off counters, but sometimes I need the sink! And sometimes I need them to stay dressed. And when I can’t convince them to go watch TV while I try to get the dishes done, I bring out…

Ice Cubes in a Vege Tray

Instructions:

• Put an empty vege tray on the floor and toss in a bunch of ice cubes.

• Give the kids tongs and measuring cups to try to pick up the ice cubes.

• A few minutes later, add a pot of water to the game. The pot has a nice flat bottom, making tipping less likely.

• Optional: Dry out vege tray and add other mixable things. I used different types of cereal that my kids won’t eat anymore.

• And good news: I got the dishes done!
