Messy Play Date

Pin It Now!

Last week we finally had our Messy Play Date with my mom group.  I kept it small and limited it to our 2 year old play group for now (next time I am increasing the number of kids and opening it to all ages). Most of the stations were ideas I had gotten from Growing A Jeweled Rose, she has such great ideas and was my inspiration for getting into messy play!  Here were our stations:


Rainbow Noodles (I made them by adding food coloring to the boiling water) 


Oobleck/Goop 


Critter Pit (filled with 2 bags of top soil, plastic bugs, lizards, and snakes, magnifying glasses, bug houses, tweezers, and bug nets)




Ball Painting

 Pool of Shaving Cream

Kid Wash and one of our water tables filled with water were our cleaning stations.

The kids had a great time!  Some of them were a little slow to warm up to the messiness of it all (after all a lot of kids are told to not make messes) but everyone ended up getting into it!



The kids had fun mixing some of the ingredients into other stations, like we ended up with noodles in the oobleck/goop (which was really cool) and spray painting the sheet for the ball painting (the kids loved that)!  Parker had a great time too, she joined in with the noodles and the oobleck/goop.  So fun!


We will be doing our next messy play date in about a month!  Can't wait!

  2. I'm curious, how much spaghetti noodles did you buy and how much shaving cream to fill the pools that much? This looks awesome! I can't wait to host my own! :) You can email me at ashley.rose.stroud@gmail.com with any answers! :)

  3. Most parents trust products that come only from well-known manufacturers. There are still questions if all-natural twin stroller for kids are really beneficial for babies' well-being and safety. If a baby product is not made of natural ingredients, dermatitis can be common. This condition causes blemishes and itching on the skin or scalp.

  4. Now that your baby is 3 months old, you are going to see a lot of changes in their development. This is a time when many babies achieve various milestones. Baby Dolls

  5. Fashion trends quickly come and go and if you love being trendy, having a fashion style inspiration is as important as eating your breakfast. It's a good thing that technology has just made it very easy for us to know when, where, and how to get hold of the latest fashion trends & tips. Waist Cincher Corset

  6. If that's the case, then more power to you but be careful. If you are a woman, we have this little thing called emotions that come into play. Living Single Biker Shorts

  7. You see, men have a talent of seeing sex as just...well sex. It's just an 'action'. It's a great way to have fun and get a stimulating release. Most men can have sex with a woman and not get emotionally attached because it's just...sex. Living Single Shorts
