Last week Cordon came down with a 102 temp, was very lethargic and refused to eat anything. Poor boy had hand food and mouth disease. If your like me and you have no idea what that is let me enlighten you; it is a virus that mostly effects kids under 10 and comes with fever, loss of appetite, blisters in the mouth hands and feet. Cordon had the blisters in his mouth but only a mild rash on his feet. He was pretty much comatose for 2 days but then the fever broke and his energy started to come back. But because of the blisters in his throat he didn't eat very much. While a child has blisters they are still pretty contagious which means it was a very long week stuck at home until his finally cleared. The poor guy started to get cabin fever the last couple days so I had to get a bit creative with activities for him to do.
Whoever invented moon sand is on my enemy list. That stuff gets EVERYWHERE even if it's used outside. You can see that Cordon sampled some.
Several years ago my mother in law gave me a book with 50 things you can make with Rhodes Rolls. It's very hands on for kids which Cordon loves. This book was a life saver this week. We made lots of critters. This is his bunny, he was very proud of it.
Magic mud (cornstarch and water) is always hours of fun, and easier to clean then moon sand.
