CJ has a wonderful heart, and he loves to help. What he doesn't realize though is that sometimes his help really isn't all that helpful. One day, I really needed to get a few things done in the kitchen that he just couldn't "help" with. I knew I needed a distraction, so I broke out an activity I had been saving for just such an occasion. I got this body wash for free a while back, so I was fine with using it for something other than its intended purpose. I let him squeeze some of the fun blue colored body wash into a ziplock bag, and then he could finger paint with no mess. He loved it! If your kids are a little older, or you have just been to the beach, it would be fun to add shells and beach treasures to the bag too.
