Water play, part 2

It's proving to be the usual hot CNY weather.  Jo Ern has been keeping cool in her turtle pond.  But there is now another part to the experience...

First part - chillaxing in the turtle

This is nice!

First part lasts a max of half an hour.  On to the usual cleaning up (and the usual cries of "noo! NOO!!!!").  Then it's time for the second part.

Second part - playing with the leftover water!

Scoop water

Pour!

Heh, the second part keeps her busy for ages!  She'd scoop water into the cup, run over to the chosen plant and pour the water on it.  Sometimes a small potted plant gets lucky many times while a big plant gets only one cupworth.  All up to the whims of a 1y 10m-old 'water-goddess'!  I'm quite pleased with the discovery of this extended water-play.  She is soo happy running back and forth with her little cup.  She does get a bit wet but not enough for me to worry about her catching a chill.  And I'm off the hook, for a while, of thinking how to keep her entertained!

  3. Great discovery of the water play!

    Anything that is safe, doesn't cost much $$, non detrimental (too much tv/ipad is not good) and keeps kids occupied for a LONG time gets 2 thumbs up from me! :)

  4. Ai, that's right, might as well water some thirsty plants. At first I was just dumping the water out.

    Leona, yep yep!

    Yuen, so tough to find healthy activities. Some, like reading, are good but takes up MY time. This one I can keep a casual eye on, or ask Lina to do. :)
