Our week here in New York has been mostly rainy, so we've been looking for some indoor fun. Now we always love a good messy project to get our hands dirty, but this week, we decided (or maybe I decided), to find some activities that are somewhat messy free. There's only so much cleaning I can take people. This Mama needs a break. Here are some great ways to Take On The Creative with your kids without the mess!

FOAM LACING
Grab your hole puncher and some foam shapes from your local craft store and start sewing! Perfect for that dinner time making hour or downtime project.

PAINT IN A BAG
Get the paints out and a ziplock bag because it's time to finger paint. Your kids will love the feeling and you'll love the mess free fun.

PLAYDOUGH BALLOONS
Make little critters out of playdough and balloons. Squeeze them, draw on them and make them a part of the gang.
