Guest Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Hi Could anyone please help. I am trying to make handwiriting exciting. I have used cornflour, custard and foam. Can anyone suggest any other mediums? I have heard of cous cous and jelly -how are these made, what sort of consistency? Thank you for your help Christine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shiny Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 How about good old paint/finger paint. Then you can take prints of the marks made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 we use dried rice, custard powder, water & large brushes(outside), chalk amongst the usual stuff. Our jelly wasn't very succesful the children didn't seem to like to look of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I used jellibaff in the tuffspot yesterday for marking in then as an extention half way through the session we spinkled a selection of seeds we've used in our 'growing' activities....the child next to me suddenly started to wrench violently:( ...being covered in the stuff myself I called another adult to lead him away and who was asked by him ...."It does look like s*** doesn't it?"
