Miles is getting old enough now to do some more structured/preschool like activities (which I am super excited about- call me a dork but I LOVE that kind of stuff).

and have a blue-car-only race.
Blow up some blue balloons...
and have a BLUE dance party featuring songs like:
"Blue Suede Shoes, and Blue (Da Ba De)"
Read blue themed books. Our favorite picks of the day were:

After reading Deep Blue Sea, make your own sensory box of a deep blue sea (this woman's blog is chocked full of ideas for kids, but she does some awesome sensory boxes. It's where I got the idea for this one).
Time for a treat! Make blue Jell-O and enjoy some blue suckers:)
I think I had more fun than the kids, especially during the dance party, which is why there is no photo evidence!
