Great way to keep your child busy!

I am staying at my parents this week (they live in a different state) so they can watch my kids as my older DD doesn't have school.  She is very ADHD and is repeating PreK this year.  I am working from my parents.  She got up from rest time and painted for 2 mins and was done (this is her normal pattern).  My mom put a chair up to te sink - gave her a big bowl and filled it with a drop of dish soap, water and some raw pasta noodles and gave her a bunch of plastic cups and spoons and stuff.  OMG - she happily played for 45 mins and didn't even make a mess.  I was able to work and my mom was able to get ready to leave the house for a funeral and we never had to worry about my DD - she was so happy and having a blast.  She only stopped when I told her it was time to take a bath before we head out.

Cool! My son loves playing in the water, but I never thought about adding some uncooked pasta noodles--that would be fun!
