Corn Starch is Messy

Recently I gave Natalie a bowl of corn starch and a spoon to keep her occupied while I cooked dinner. She enjoyed herself for a good long while, but the activity was awfully messy! I’m not sure why I expected her to just use the spoon to stir neatly…it’s much more fun to get your hands whole self (and the kitchen) dirty!

"Who needs a spoon?"

"It's all over my shirt!"

"It's all over my arms!"

Cleaning up after herself

Lucky for me, Natalie enjoys vacuuming, too.
