Dino Wash Activity

dino wash- toddler at play (15)

This Dino Wash activity is a low-prep, easy and fun idea for your little ones. Simple, yet, I can vouch for this, kids are going to looovvee it!

My kids are currently obsessed with these little toys dinosaurs Grammy got them. She originally bought them to take to the beach to play with them in sand, but the kids loved them so much they wanted to bring them all inside that first evening. And this was a perfect time to give them a little wash from all the sticky ocean sand 🙂

Once I set-up the activity, the kiddos were at bay quietly washing away their little dinosaurs. This activity kept them busy, happy and surprisingly not too messy!

What is my child learning and improving?

  • Fine/small motor skills (holding the dinosaurs, toothbrushes. Using wrists and finger strength to brush the dinos)
  • Diligence (yes! You’ll see it in their faces 🙂 They’ll be so concentrated on getting every nook and cranny of the dinosaur)
  • Hand-eye coordination (brushing with the toothbrush in correspondence to the eye)
  • Independency (this is a great activity to prepare and leave giving the kids some time to themselves, building their own imagination and independency)
  • Creativity

Simple sensory play idea for today using beet-dyed Simple sensory play idea for today using beet-dyed rice and a few fun sensory tools 💗  Now, yes, you’ve read that right. I dyed this rice using a little bit of beet water (from boiling beets) and about a tablespoon of distilled white vinegar. Add all into a big ziploc bag, shake and spread out on a sheet pan to dry completely, I like to do this overnight. This recipe is without any dyes, which I try to avoid. Even food dyes contain “lakes” and toxic stuff.  The beet water made a lovely deep pink color, perfect for Valentine’s Day! If you try this recipe out, let me know in the comments if you enjoyed it AND TAG me so I can take a peak!  SAVE for later and TAG your friends below to share!
