Messy Day at Playgroup!

Every Tuesday morning we go to what I reckon has got to be one of the best playgroups arounds, awesome kids, awesome Mums and carers, and everybody has a blast, oh and I get to drink a cup of tea that hasn't been microwaved 10 times!  So last week we decided it was time to go crazy and have a messy day!

I volunteered for my favourite messy craft - which is a table full of shaving foam and some food coloring!  Let them mix it up with hands or spoons or sticks and then press some paper over the top, then remove the excess foam and HEY!   Beautiful marbled paper!

Some of the gorgeous creations!

We also had the kids get the feet painted, they then transferred this onto paper, then afterwards they got to run around and make a big mess on the concrete path! This is Eryka's footprint.







And they even had a good time cleaning up after themselves at the end!










Mixing it up at the foam table!

Paint clothes were well needed!  Eryka "creating" something at the paint table.  So many different textures here, there was paint, cut up vegetables for different patterns, and shaped sponges












The activity is SO simple, yet is always incredibly popular!  We just blu-tacked paper to the bars of the fence, then let them loose with bottles of different colors - just water and food coloring.

Messy Play can be so much fun, just let your guard down and let go!











So I did bring a change of clothes, but there was nothing to be done about the face until we got home!  We got a few strange looks on the walk home but hey, the massive smile on my daughters face all afternoon was SOOO worth it!
