Faux Days

We’ve been playing with faux snow! Yesterday it was white sand in a cake pan with Matchbox bulldozers (snowplows) and today it was shaving cream painting on cookie sheets. Mateo enjoyed both, but keeps going back to the snowplowing. Today he added a dump truck to the mix after witnessing a real snowplow dumping loads of snow into a dump truck. So cool to see real life situations translate into play activities.

Apparently Mateo was also playing with faux fire this afternoon, as he pulled a fire alarm at a nearby arts center. Zoinks. It really scared him – fingers are crossed that he was scared enough to not try that again. Ever. There was a tai chi class in progress at the time – it probably scared them a little bit, too.
