I have been dying to make goop/gak/slime for some time. Here's a link to some recipes at http://www.kidsactivities.net/
Since I don't bake, we were lacking some basic ingredients. All I had on hand was some multi-purpose flour and cornflour. So, I simply mixed the two with some water and green food colouring until I get the right consistency, runny but not too watery.
Our goop
This is the reason I love messy play outdoors: Tiger practically radiates happiness.
If happiness is measurable, it would be off the charts!!
Ohhh, he actually peed in his suit before I took the shot...LOL
Guess what? My Little OCD boy was disgusted...LOL (see pic)
He touched goop and exclaimed,"Eeeekkkk"
He touched goop and exclaimed,"Eeeekkkk"
Then, he ran away!!
So much for sensory play, he needed a scoop :p
Getting aquainted ^.^
Finally, after some time, he enjoyed it!
What's sensory play without a little tasting?
Washing up is part of the fun!
This time he didn't throw a tantrum when is was time to stop..phew...
We love getting messy!! (Outdoors, of course)

Really hope to have this one day for my children also... :) but i worry my MIL will give me an angry face....
Jade,
The key is to start small. A little smudge here, a little dirt there...your MIL get used to it, like mine did :) She's a bigger neat freak than me!!
Don't start with Goop, she'll get a heart attack.
Something like crayon is pretty mild to start with and make it the washable kind.
Oh, he looks positively delighted! Toddlers and mess make a perfect pair (outside of course)! ;)
