Space-themed messy play!

I love to try and include a messy play activity in our themed weeks, as the boys just love it and it’s so good for them to get squishing, feeling, imagining and exploring. A twist on our favourite combo of shaving foam and cornflour, this space-themed messy play adds purple food colouring, silver balls and little stars to create a night-sky!

We like a fairly squishy mixture so we go heavy on the shaving foam, but you could have a more powdery version with a higher proportion of cornflour. The boys loved the feel with the added ‘bits’, and loved covering their diggers and little workmen in the ‘sky’!

We love our ‘really useful box’ – here is a link to it. Please note that this is an affiliate link, which means that if you purchase the box here I get a small commission at no cost to you.
