I thought I would share a very simple messy play activity we did today. I first saw the idea at the local children’s centre where we go to a play session each week.

I am always on the lookout for simple play ideas that I can incorporate into our day. I’m also a huge fan of sensory play as I think children learn more from being hands-on.

Today’s idea is super simple but very messy, all you need is a deep tray, a block of Jelly and some flour.

Flour & Jelly Messy Play

Daisy really enjoyed covering her hands with the flour and letting it fall through her fingers. She also loves squashing the Jelly, rolling it around, burying it and of course smelling it. I suspect that she did have a sneaky nibble or two as well.

Of course, mummy had to have a go too!

This is the end result of lots of fun, a bath and a hoover was required afterwards, but we don’t mind one bit.

Hope you enjoyed having a peek into this afternoon’s adventures. You can get lots of similar ideas from Pinterest or from Nurturestore on Facebook.
