As the mom of a toddler son life can get messy.
He loves mud, sand and dirt as most boys do . After our visit to see the crocodiles in the green “mud” at Le Bonheur, Hamish is rather obsessed with green swampy mud.
Yesterday I made him his own swamp to splosh and sploosh his animals in. Here’s how you can make your own green sploshy sensory mud pool.
You will need:-
🔹️ Therifics Natural magnesium bath fizzle fun
🔹️ Egg white
🔹️ Hot water
🔹️Green food colouring
How to play
🔹️We already had egg white on the floor as we were doing egg and spoon races and a few eggs dropped , but you could separate 2 or 3 eggs and keep the egg whites. These give the swamp a slimy feel.
🔹️Next add half a cup of Therific Naturals Magnesium fizzle fun. I used the blue as the scent is Hamish’s favourite.
🔹️ On top of this sprinkle a few drops of food colouring. The more drops you add the darker it will be.
🔹️ Slowly add the hot water, which helps the Fizzle fun to react and start foaming. Mix in and play.
To get extra messy and for a really interesting sensory experience you could add sand to your swamp as well.
Hamish really enjoyed this and it was great for us to start a discussion on which animals live in swampy type of areas.
