🧽 WASH THE ANIMALS🧽

This is an easy to set up, cost effective and even edible sensory game!

Simply mix flour, cocoa powder and water in a container until you have a muddy consistency. Made from edible ingredients, this is a game for all ages! (Recommended 10+ months). In a seperate container, just add water! Dish soap can also be added for extra bubbly fun.

Select toys that are easy to clean, throw in a few sponges and it’s good to go!

This game is great for kids of all ages, even the bigger ones get a kick out of it. It helps with a range of skills:
- Language skills
- Fine motor skills
- Practical life skills
- Concentration and perseverance
- Strengthening neural pathways

Allowing the older kids to help prepare the ‘mud’ can add an extra layer of fun, while incorporating a sense of responsibility and problem solving.

Jess was inspired to give this a go at home with her son Lewis, the idea came from . Check her out on Instagram for heaps of other play hacks, sensory games and other fun things!

Let us know if you give it a go!

Have you heard of Scott Stuart?

Scott Stuart is an Australian father, author and illustrator. Scott wrote his first book "My Shadow is Pink" for his son Colin, who loves nothing more than dressing up in princess dresses, particularly his favourite character, Elsa.
My Shadow is Pink teaches us how to break through the stereotypes and learn how to support and embrace our differences.

He followed up on that book with 'Alone', this beautifully illustrated book teaches us that even when we feel alone, that friendship is just a moment away.

His latest release, 'How to be a Real Man', encourages boys to embrace who they truly are in this empowering and funny story, smashing age-old assumption about what it means to be a man.

Scott is passionate about dismantling gender stereotypes and empowering children to follow their own unique path.

Check out his page Scott Stuart to find the links on where you can buy his books! Scott is certainly an author to watch!
