I need HOT weather activities. Bright!?

Is there something creative I can do with ice?  Something I can do indoors with it, or in the bath tub?  I cannot take the baby outside, nor do M and  I want to be out there!  M and I are so bored these days!  Please help! : )

    Do you have a big tile floor anywhere? You could spread out a couple of beach towels or whatever and put a baby pool inside filled with lukewarm water. You could all play!

    You could put a bunch of uncooked rice or oatmeal in a big box or tub & your DD could use it like sand for scooping, pouring, dump trucks, etc.  Shaving cream or chocolate pudding on a table so she can spread it around, draw in it w/her finger.  The pudding is fun as she can lick her hands while doing it- they did that at my DD's preschool & she loved it.  That's all I've got for now!

    Stickers, crayons, markers

    Shaving cream on the high chair tray

    When DD was little, I would sit outside for a while under the patio in the summer just to get outside. Maybe you could let M play in the water table while you sit outside? Early mornings are best, obviously. I just let DD play w/ ice cubes in her water table.

    DD was M's age when we started packing and she looooooved climbing on and through the boxes.

    Can you go swimming after DH gets home from work?

    Summers are bad in AZ! I go stircrazy.

    We have been going crazy too.  The kids are used to getting out of the house.

    In the mornings we play outside before it gets too hot.  I have a baby pool, regular blow up pool with a little tykes slide going in it, a water table and a splash pad.  I let the kids go crazy and then they take long naps.

    In the afternoon we run errrands.  I have every store with a double or car shopping cart memorized.  We go to the grocery store, Lowe's, Costco etc.  We also go to storytime at the library.

    At night we set up big floodlights outside so that the kids can still play.Then they cool off in the bathtub.

    I don't have any good cool indoor activities.

    We got this idea from Bright-

    Freeze some of her toys in a bowl with water.  Then she can pour warm water into that bowl to "rescue" her toys.

    Also, you can google a recipe for ice paint.  My students love that.
