Moms are already pretty creative people, but this quarantine has really challenged them. Keeping kids entertained 24 hours a day is not an easy task, and kids are always moving from one thing to the next, you have to have a lot of activities up your sleeve if you want to keep them busy.
Not to mention, a lot of these activities have to be educational, school hasn’t been in session since April and its already summer break.
This mom on TikTok got creative and thought that since she couldn’t take her kids to the beach or park to play in the sand, they would make their own sand and bring the beach into their home.
Most parents would hear an idea like this and run the other way. To most parents, sand means mess and rowdy kids wouldn’t just get it all over themselves but also all over the house. Thats a lot to clean, but this isn’t your typical sand.
She blends up cheerios so finely that they almost turn to powder, and fills a Tupperware dish with it.Then she breaks out the beach toys, throws them in the pan with the “sand” for her baby and she is set!
The little girl is having so much is fun and mom is not worried at all about the clean up or worse, her daughter deciding to snack on the sand.One thing that little kids tend to do is put everything in their mouth. With this craft, moms don’t have o worry about their kids eating the sand because its made from one of their favorite foods.
Though this momma is getting praised for the idea, it wasn’t originally hers. Moms have discovered this hack long ago as a means to come up with sensory play with household items. Her brilliance was taking advantage of social media and the popularity of TikTok, and then posting the steps to her channel. Since posting it has gone viral and has been watched millions of times.
Every comment on the video is from other young moms thanking her for posting and praising her creativity. “No one said you were allowed to be this smart…” said one user while another said she had seen it in nearly every parenting group she is a part of online. Thats a pretty big compliment for what this mom thought was going to be a simple life hack. Lets hope theres more videos like this to come to keep our kids even more entertained.
