Boo Boo got a present for his birthday, back in Feb, that I thought was a little too adventurous for me.
I have a friend who loves to get in the mix with her kids and doesn’t mind things getting dirty…that’s not me though. So when he opened this present, I must admit, that we kind of hid it. But he found it and wanted to play it, so today’s activity was with something called Squishy Baff Bath Kit (Colors Vary)
.
Squishy Baff is a powder that is non-toxic and environmentally safe.
You pour the whole packet into the bathtub full of water and it turns it to goo! Yep, green slimygoo! (Actually I think you can get it in any color.)
Since I’m not so adventurous…and didn’t want to have to clean the bathtub…we just put some of the powder in a sink full of water. And, yep, as promised, it turned it to goo! Boo Boo thought this was VERY cool, but Baby was not going to touch it if I paid him. I admit, I played in it some with Boo Boo. It was kind of slimy and, well, gooey! Boo Boo probably stood there for 30 minutes playing in it before I told him it was time to stop.
When you’re done, you put a second packet of powder in the goo and mix it around and it turns the goo back into a kind of watery substance that goes right down the drain. It took a bit of time to get it all to dissolve, but it did go away and wasn’t too big a mess to clean up.
I’ll have to thank my adventurous mom friend for helping us have a new experience with goo!
