    Default 'clean' messy play?

    Any ideas for 'clean' messy play. little one 20 months does not like paint, glue, goop, dough. Did dried pasta which he loved and done water which he loved (but did not like it with bubbles), he didn't like sand. Any more ideas?

    or blob paint onto paper and tape cling film over it, he can push the paint around without getting messy and has something to show for it too

    Tried the paint in zip bags last week and my 26 lo took a giant leap and joined in. Today we did finger painting and she loved it!! I was stressing and didn't relax thinking something would happen and maybe lo would have a freek out, can't believe the change in her. Thanks for the advice
