This was one of Lily's favorite things to do today: take the colored pencils out of the jar. Then put them back in. But maybe not all of them. Then take them out. Maybe dump them out. And pick them up and put them back in the jar again. She was very focused on this experiment and took it very seriously.
I am trying more and more to stop using the word "mess" around Lily. Like this, it's not a mess. She's even kind of cleaning it up. But she's exploring picking up small things, using her fine motor skills. And learning to put things back after she's done with them. So it's all good. I was amazed at how long this entertained her. Which is good, because it was like -20 outside today so we were stuck in.
