Did you see my recent We Play post about our attempt to make Moon Sand 😀 It failed but we had lots of fun regardless.
Cookie dough is a fun thing to play with too – and the cooking process kills the kids germs, although I make very sure they wash their hands well first.
Also bread dough, my girls are really getting into helping me make breadrolls.

I’ll have to check out moon sand! We love cooking too, but that would be a whole new list 🙂 We love homemade pasta as well, the kneading is great fun.
sounds like a whole lotta fun!
You are far more daring to work with such messy mediums than most moms I know. Me personally…I prefer making cards with my rubber ink stamps and decorative papers.

A non-toxic form of playdough can be made, too, but you have to keep it in the refrigerator when it’s not is use.

That’s what we use, the girls love being able to make it themselves then play with it. We put different oils and colours in to make it interesting.
How fun!!!
Great list.
Have a great day!

I love slime, my mom used to make that for us. Even as an adult, it’s still fascinating. And, after you play with it you can look up videos on YouTube of people walking across pools filled with it!
What a good idea, I’ll have to look them up. I can see how it would work, if you walk slowly you’d sink, but running quickly would get you across.
Playdough was one of my favorite things to play with as a kid.
So much fun, we have some permanently in the fridge and a big box of tools.
At one time or another my kids and I have painted with all of these. Fun list!

I must try out some of these that we haven’t done when we get back from our holiday.
Corn starch and water is a favorite at our house.
A few add-ons for some of these great activities…
I love playdough and have found that even much older kids have a ball with it – I have fond memories of a bunch of teenage boys having a great time on a coast trip, spending hours making crazy interactive stories with the playdough I had taken for the toddlers! Adding glitter to playdough is also fun for a change (and makes a great present too!).
I have used the shaving cream with my Girl Guides, adding drops of food colouring then swirling it around with a skewer to make patterns. We then made prints by pressing paper down on top. Once you scrape the excess off you get really lovely paper. Messy but great fun!
Great list although i work in a migrant program and we do not use “food” items in our explorations…so many of our families have serious food shorages and it seems wrong to play with food that could feed so many…it does limit our sensory experiences but we just try harder to find those in other places.
That’s a great point, I’ve never thought of it. We really are priveleged that something like rice can be a cheap toy, but it feeds half the world.
Sand at the beach has to be our all time fun texture item. At home we love anything to do with water.
What a great list you have made here!!
I’m sure I will be coming back to it again and again.
You are the queen of lists 🙂 What a great resource.

Playdough is my personal favourite! But if the child knows that it is edible, you must remember not to add glitter on something like that! Instead of non-edible ingredients you can add some coloured rice! it looks really beautiful!
I like Homemade Playdough´s latest amazing offering ..Playdough Recipe
glitter playdough definately looks nice, but I don`t suggest yout tu use it, if the kids have played with edible playdough before 😉
only you could try to add some “sugar glitter”(?) ore something that glitters and is also edible 🙂
