Then Abby found her first activity she wanted to do. Chalk wasn't messy really at all and she now recognizes circles and can draw them too, so we're pretty proud of that.
After chalk, we moved on to "Sink or float". Basically she just put things in the water to see if they would sink or float. Not a lot of mess there either.
Next was kind of a shoveling and texture feeling activity with birdseed. She likes to scoop things so she enjoyed it. Basically she would just scoop the birdseed and then dump it in Tim's hands. 
Next we went fishing. There weren't a lot of fish in there as the girl next to Abby in the red just threw them all out of the tub.
Next we moved on to the sand. Abby has been to the beach before but that was almost a year ago. Of course with a shovel and bucket she was entertained.
Next was the sprinkler. As you can see there were a lot of kids there. This is where the messy part started somewhat. She was soaked down her whole front. Just in time to do some artwork.
This activity was ketchup and mustard art. It seemed like a good idea at the time. The smell got to me a little, but Abby enjoyed it. She really likes drawing and painting.
Just rubbing it in.
Next we moved on to stamping. Which for those of my friends who are crafty with scrap booking know I have no interest or skill in that area so they should be proud of Abby. Her artwork was actually very nice and is now on display in our kitchen. Some parents helped their kids stamp to minimize the messy factor. We just let her go at it.
Our last event included painting a cardboard house. She actually does have a paintbrush in her left hand but is preferring to paint with her hand. Tim thinks she is ready to help paint in the basement now.
In the end Abby did get a little messy. It was time to wash off and head home for the evening.
