Messy Fun

Ben and I have been experimenting with different craft activities lately and it has become something that he really looks forward to when Nate is napping. Some personal time with Mommy while being messy. What could be better?

Today we made some Magic Mud out of corn starch, water and food coloring. What fun! It's a compound similar to Model Magic but it slips right through your fingers and oozes when left in a pile. The best part? It melts right off with warm water for an easy clean-up.

Since clean-up is a breeze, Ben was allowed to bring some trucks into the playzone. He loved pushing his mud around with his bulldozer and putting some into his pickup truck. And when you put a car on top, it sinks...just like quicksand. I would highly recommend this!

It also does no harm if consumed, eh, accidentally! :)

Yesterday's project was Glue Art. This involves a large dab of glue on waxed paper with food coloring to smear and various objects to place into collage form. This was also lots of fun and Ben is so proud of his creation that now hangs on our fridge!
