Good, Clean Fun

My friend, Heather sent me a list of sensory ideas to do with the kids, so we made "Clean Mud" yesterday!

I grated a bar of soap into our would-be sandbox
&
helped the girls tear up a roll
of toilet paper to add to it.

Then, we added warm water and squished it together

until it was the consistency of thick cool whip.

Their faces say it all--

Of course, I don't know what kind of fun any mud is
if you're only playing from outside of the box...

This is more like it!

Ali quickly got tired of being dirty, or clean,
or whatever you want to call it,

and it just wasn't fair to make Sydney play by herself...

Even if she was enjoying it!

But like I said, it just wasn't fair to her...
or to me,
who apparently is still a kid at heart

Ali wanted nothing to do with us or our "filth",

but we're working on her...
She'll get there.
