| This deeper container was a great match for this usually messy work. |
Now that the grocery stores are full of Thanksgiving ingredients and tchotchkes, grab an extra turkey baster and neon food coloring. I did, and I found that almost 3-year-old "Alleluia" had a renewed interest in all of the water pouring and water transfer works on our shelf.
I also used a deeper tray that works out much better than the shallow fast-food restaurant-type trays that I normally have for wet work. I hadn't planned on ditching the flatter trays, but did so out of laziness (I had been using this container to store cupcakes and though it was empty I hadn't yet returned it to the cupboards). The other day when I desperately needed Alleluia to be busy--next to me in the kitchen--I grabbed the empty container (which was a clearance scrapbooking box many moons ago).

| Great way to strengthen those little hands! |
The use of the neon food coloring was just an added bonus that made everything all the more exciting. If that means your toddler will have a renewed interest in water works or if it means you can get more things done before dinnertime, then I say bring it on!
