OVERVIEW
Prep time: 2 minutes
Difficulty: Medium
Estimated Cost: 20 AED
Mess level: High
Age: 2 plus
What you need:
Pudding (I used three boxes to fill this tub)
Oreos
Gummy worms
Storage tub
Various other toys – mini construction vehicles and small pets are what we used
Instructions:
First, mix up the pudding and left it to set.
Then, crumble up Oreo dirt.
Hide some worms in the “mud”
Add construction trucks / animals to give it an “on the farm” feel and let them dive in.
Benefits:
Sensory activities are so great for toddlers!
It allows them to learn and create in a safe, stimulating play environment.
Toddlers learn so much by playing with their surroundings – especially when it’s messy play (OK that last part is just my opinion).
And what is more than fun than a giant bowl of mud and dirt that they can play with, lick off and eat!!!
Ways to adapt:
There are so many other ideas for this “muddy” play:
Use it in a fun mud kitchen set up
Hide alphabet letters in the mud
Scoop and pour the mud using cups and funnels
