MYSTERY WATER BOX DIY FOR KIDS

Have you ever seen the classic sensory game of what’s in the box? You know, the one where you stick your hand blindly in a box and try to figure out what it is? Well, this is pretty much that but no box and lots of water. A more toddler friendly version. I prepared this without my girls so that when they picked something out of the water, it was a complete surprise. Cutest reactions ever! Plus, who doesn’t like water play?

MATERIALS:

1. Clear shallow-ish container

2. 4 cups water

3. Black food coloring

4. Things to find: must be able to sink to the bottom

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Pour the water into the clear container.

2. Add a few drops of black food coloring to the water mix it until pitch black.

3. Add in the thing to find and have your little one search for them.

Tip: I recommend adding things of different textures. I added water beads and clear marbles. Both clear but one is hard and the other squishy.
