Summary

For ages 4-12. Filled with oozy, gooey, and sticky play activities for kids, this book offers a safe and supervised way for kids to have messy fun. With easy-to-follow instructions, kids can make a variety of messy things, such as gloppy glob, papier-m'ché piggy banks, tasty finger paints, or even chocolate clay. Other projects focus on making a mess in the kitchen with home made peanut butter, bread figures, soft pretzels, and caramel popcorn balls. Each activity will help children develop their sense of touch while having a blast. Tips are included on hosting a 'squish event' and having summer outdoor fun.
