I was given a bag of these plastic ball-pit balls recently and decided to combine them with a bunch of plastic containers from our local op-shop for 10 cents each. A little water in the water trolley and the kids were all set for some creative outdoor play. Even though it is getting cold here, water play on occasion still goes down well, we just have to follow it up with a nice hot shower for all.

As you can see, the children immediately began sorting the balls by colour, filling the jugs with “juice” and baking all sorts of wonderful creations. And the sound-track to this happy experience? Lots of bickering and arguing about who had what first and how it all should be arranged and other petty disagreements. We all have those days…..
