Operation Play Time - Playdoh, Gloop and Yuk!

Operation Playtime got decidingly messy today with Playdoh-gloop-and-yuk!

We've previously posted about
Play dough and Flubber.

Other 'substances' for messy play are:
  • shredded paper
  • sand (wet or dry)
  • uncooked rice
  • dried lentils / beans / peas
  • Angel delight
  • water
  • jelly
  • baked beans
  • bubble bath mixture (very slimey!)
  • gravel
  • gloop (cornflower mixed with water)
  • salt
  • cooked pasta
  • pebbles
  • paint
  • dry cereal
  • dry tea leaves
  • shaving foam
  • cooked noodles
  • margerine
  • glass beads
  • porridge
  • sweetcorn
  • mashed potato

Some are cleaner than others - Have fun!

Shredded paper- We have a lot of that here. What a good idea for messy play. Our love affair with playdoh has to ease off to try the other ones. Thanks for sharing this long list of ideas to try. You can have one a week for a long time.
