    Default FLOUR AND BABY OIL

    This activity keeps the children occupied for hours

    Just mix a whole bag of flour with a bottle of cheap baby oil ... do not forget to risk ass ... and watch little ones putting it in their mouth ... like any other sand

    It has a soft texture and is better than real sand ... it is a bit like moonsand

    Stores for ages too, just pop it into a air tight bag or plastic container ;-)

    Oh and don't let children in school uniform play with it unless it's Friday!!! They get very dusty!!!

    LO's had great fun when we did it a few weeks ago but then they decided to mix water with it - SO hard to get off the patio

    It's a lovely activity. We added glitter to ours too. An alternative to baby oil if you have lo who eat everything, is cooking oil. Doesn't keep for long and doesn't smell as nice! But safer If eaten.
