My son puts together a bowl just before bed - he found out that tootsie rolls don't work - they just made brown ice - He just fill the bowl with small toys and water (I make one for my 2 yo DD as well) and they chisel away at it with the business end of a wrench, while the dog catches all the chunks that fall off - it has been really good fun for all of us! Thanks for the idea!<BR/>I'll be putting you on my "resources" list, so I can keep looking back for new ideas.
