My girls love jelly. I found we can use gelatin to make our own home made jelly, or to dilute up store purchased jelly 🙂
Watermelon is a big hit in summer time too 🙂
I hadn’t thought of jelly, of course it’s mostly water. The girls love all the melons, we eat lots of them.
We make sure there is a big bottle of water and glasses on the table for every meal so everyone has a drink of water. I also never go anywhere without the boys water bottles – they just grab them out of my bag and whenever they need a drink.
Aussie Mum´s latest amazing offering ..We play at Rottnest
I wonder if this is an Australian thing. We never go anywhere without a water bottle, it’s just too hot.
Waterbottles scattered in strategic locations works well for our toddler, and sippy cups with water and a tiny splash of blackcurrant cordial – enough to colour the water and give it a slight flavour. The sippy cup means that it doesn’t matter where he leaves it, it’ll probably still be there when he’s next passing through. In winter I make it with warm water, either from the kettle (not too hot) or just the tap.
I like the warm water idea. We used to do the sippy cup thing, now it goes in cycles. Sometimes it’s fine, sometimes I get sick of bottles of water everywhere and none in the fridge!
yeah everyone having their own water bottle has made it easier to make sure everyone drinks enough. I forget to drink enough myself, so if I can remember to have everyone’s bottles out at the start of the day we all drink more
