thanks for the link....cool stuff on there.

I am thinking about bringing my sensory tables

one art project, like the marble with paint in a box

we have a heat rate monitor and three stations

jump rope

hula hoop

sitting

which one will increase your heart rate the most?

Sounds like a great way to promote your business and being healthy!

Downside to painting in a box is that the parent's have to carry around a wet paint project the rest of their visit to the fair.

Maybe something more portable like home made edible playdoh? Each child could take about 1/4 cup home in a Ziploc bag. Fruit Loop necklace? Finger puppet they color on cardstock and then glue to popsicle stick?

Just a few thoughts...my brain isn't working too well on a Friday night.

Oh boy Good thing you posted. That is a great point about the painting.

I love your playdough idea. We can make that for sure
