We had an afternoon of “What happens when?” which turned into a great garden science kitchen.
Shaving foam
Food colouring
Bicarbonate of soda
Vinegar
Leaves
Soil
Sawdust
Glitter
And anything else you can find!
Plastic trays – I use (clean) cat litter trays
Pipettes
Spoons
Plastic cups and bowls
Whatever else you fancy!
Shaving foam is so much fun on its own as a sensory play activity. I buy the cheapest cans of shaving foam I can find, usually under 50p a can, and keep a stash of them in the cupboard under our sink.
Using pipettes to drop food colouring mixed with a little water onto the shaving foam. Great fun swirling the colours together.
We sprinkled bicarbonate of soda all over the surface of the shaving foam and used pipettes to drop vinegar onto it.
After stirring the shaving foam we collected leaves from the garden to sprinkle on the top.
We sprinkled soil on the top. “I can’t wait to stir it up!”
We looked round the garden and found some sawdust and added that.
Our garden modge needed a bit of sparkle.
Kids spent over an hour mixing and using spoons to dish out the modge into plastic cups and bowls. Brilliant fun!
