Coconut flakes

Reuben has visions of Ellis being a super neat and tidy baby. I don't know what kind of parenting-planet he's living on.  So I save the messy activities for when dad is not at home, like this one I recently tried: dried coconut flakes.   They're edible, easy to sweep up (loving my all tile floors!) and entertains the baby forever.  Shhh don't tell Reuben.  

I do wish I had either a backyard or a dog to clean up the mess for me.  A broom and a mop will have to do for now.
