Magic Halloween slime

For magic slime you need - shaving foam, paint and glitter.



Mix up the foam and paint using a spoon, then sprinkle glitter on top.  I put it in a disposable baking tray - this helps to contain the mess and also is a nice reflective surface.



I added in a few toys from the play dough box but toys are not necessary.  Some snakes/spider/insect toys might be another good idea!


We played with it squishing it between fingers, making patterns on the table, hiding toys in the slime and exploring all the shapes we could make.



When finished I put the tray and toys in the sink and rinsed.  The table cloth and apron went in a cold rinse wash in the machine and came out sparkling clean.  This is not suitable for very young children who will put the foam near their eyes or in their mouth.  Also remember shaving foam may sting cuts.


Pumpkin decoration

Decorating pumpkins in a way that is easy for toddlers.

We got these adorable munchkin pumpkins from Sainsburys



A large baking tray and apron helped to contain the mess!



We used paint, paintbrush and glitter.  


Lots of fun and mess!  A very pretty pumpkin that lasts longer than traditional carved ones and won't go mouldy so fast!





Tissue paper pumpkin

Very easy one - drew a basic pumpkin shape and we ripped up tissue paper and stuck it down.
