    Default Messy Play Using the Contents of a Nappy.....

    a clean one of course.

    I had some magic snow arrive in the post today. Small test tube full of white power, put in a tray, add water and expands into 'snow'. Very good but it was a small quantity and wasn't much like snow. In fact, it reminded me of the jelly crystals you get out of a nappy when they explode (or your husband washes one in the machine!!! ). So I thought I would do a little experiment. I cut out the white strip from a nappy, put it in a tray, added loadsssssss of water, and hey presto, the SAME 'snow'!!!!! (also very similar to jelly baff)

    I am assuming it is non toxic due to it coming in contact with a babies bottom, and with most 'messy play' substansances should probably not be eaten, but I am really tempted to let the children play with it. What do you guys think?

    It is also £0.12p v's £3.50 and made sooooo much more

    Never assume anything, disposable nappies are in fact very toxic.

    Aww dont just because its toxic doesnt mean they cant play with it, as long as your supervising them and thourghly washing their hands there is no problem.

    I let mine play with Shaving foam they love it
    and then theres bubble bath (slimy texture) and various other stuff xx
    You can’t have everything. Where would you put it?
