pine cones

Monday we went to a park out in El Cajon that did not have a play structure. I really like when the kids are able to use their imagination and nature to play instead of just hanging out at a traditional playground. We went on a little hike and collected some pine cones. Today after school I a was going to take the kids to the zoo and meet up with some friends, but I decided to stay home. The kids painted the pine cones with paint and glitter. They were into it for about 10 minutes before they wanted to come back inside.
