GLOOP! - originally posted 12th April

We had such a fun day at work today - we made GLOOP!

To the absolute amazement of one of my co-workers and the somewhat bemusement of our babies we had much fun with the cornflour/water mixture that is both a solid and liquid - what JOY!

The funniest part of it all is the fact that muggins here (that'd be me) ended up with more cornflour on her trousers than any of the children did!!

The girls next door decided they hadn't quite had enough mess for one day and went for the additional baked-bean play. One catering-sized tin of baked-beans (enough to feed an army it seemed), 8 babies stripped to their vest and covered in art-aprons made for 5-year-olds (sleeves rolled over 7 times or more lol) later and messy-play began. Half an hour more - some VERY messy babies and yet another half hour and a whole pack of dishcloths soaked in hot water and sanitizing spray and messy-play was over just in time for tea!

We like to make a mess, we do!
