Last Saturday there was a fund raiser at the Town Park to raise money to build a toddler playground. It was advertised as having activities for children ages five and younger so I took Anna down for a few hours. For a donation of five dollars the kids could participate in all they had set up there or you could buy tickets for 25 cents a piece and each station was worth a ticket. At 18 months many of the crafts and things were still a bit to old for her to do but she LOVED three of the stations that they had. The faceless kid in the pink hat is Anna in all the pictures. She was much too enthralled to look for the camara!
This was one of the stations that she really liked. They had a roped off area with a bunch of Hippity Hop Balls. I couldn't get a picture of her on one because I had to help her do it and I had her by myself. She really enjoyed them though! This little girl in the picture was really cute too. She kept coming over and handing Anna the balls.
This seemed to be her most favorite station. They had baby swimming pool and a water table filled with feed corn. Anna loved scooping it into buckets and dumping them out. I really think she played here for a good 1/2 hour and would have stayed longer if I didn't coax her away.
She tried to dive in!
They also had pony rides but Annalise was content on just watching the other kids ride. She kept going over and looking and I kept asking her if she wanted to ride. Each time she gave a drawn out "Nooooooooooo".
At another station they had a baby pool filled with damp sand. It was perfect because you didn't have to worry about the sand blowing in anyone's eyes!
We had a great time and Anna was exhausted from playing and the heat when we left.

That looks like a lot of fun. Easy ideas for backyard fun.
