smash balls

i have been running the boys all over this week so this afternoon i wanted to let them do something fun. so we made "smash balls". they are just cotton balls dipped in equal parts flour and water with some food coloring. then you bake them at a low temperature (325) for 45 minutes.
the boys dipping their cotton balls. mason liked it more than maddux but both boys didn't really like that it was messy.
our finished "smash balls"
once they were done we took them down stairs to smash. the boys were super excited but a little too gentle at first. once they got the hang of it they thought it was really fun.

mason was so cute because after smashing a few he said that we should save some for madelyn. and we did. she really enjoyed them too.

i highly recommend this activity. super easy and it was great for keeping them busy (and stationary) while i swept and cleaned up the patio. we will do these again and will definitely make them on days when we need to do yard work. love.

What a great idea to keep them busy. Looks like they really enjoyed it too.
