Messy Girl Ahead

Who says getting messy is just for little boys?!

Sometimes you've gotta play with shaving cream..
 ...and sometimes you've gotta play with dirt.
Love this girl!

Elephant Toothpaste

Another Pinterest inspired idea: Elephant Toothpaste!

Ingredients Needed
- 1/2 cup hydrogen peroxide
- 2 tsp. yeast (one packet)
- 3 tbs. warm water
- Dish soap
- Food Coloring
- Empty 16oz water bottle
- Funnel
- Container to catch the liquidy mess

Directions
1. Pour 1/2 cup peroxide into empty water bottle and add several drops of food coloring.
2. Add 1 tbsp liquid dish soap into bottle and swirl it around to mix it, then place in container.
3. In small bowl, mix together yeast and warm water. Let it sit for a few minutes.
4. Use the funnel and pour the yeast mixture into the water bottle and quickly remove funnel. Now you get to watch the foamy fun!
 Of course I didn't quite have 1/2 cup peroxide, so it wasn't as big as I would have liked, but G didn't seem to mind.
Did I mention you can play in it afterwards? YEAH!



Idea from: Come Together Kids

Colored Mess

I added food coloring to bubble liquid and intended on us blowing bubbles onto the paper. G couldn't quite get the hang of blowing the bubbles (she usually waves the wand around), so she decided to just shake the bubble liquid on the paper instead. Good improvising!

 She takes her work very seriously.
