Guest Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 shaving foam, shaving foam with glitter, sawdust, pasta etc added to it powder paint sprinkled through a sieve onto large paper and bubbles blown onto it (when they burst they make a pattern) spray bottles filled with very watery paint plain old finger painting onto the table top or builder's tray mud pies made from compost sand salt and water (3 cups compost 3 cups sand 1 1/2 cups salt and mix with water) slime made from soap flakes and warm water, goop made with cornflour and water you can make anything messy really..... Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 fill rubber gloves with paint tie the top and prick holes in each finger and squeeze fasten big car sponges to feet with elastic bands and stand in trays of paint then walk on large sheets of paper/ outdoors blindfold art race runny paint down a piece of paper hanging from a fence or wall. use droppers and say ready steady go punch holes in a large foil turkey tray with a pencil add paint and working in pairs the children can co operate to move the tray above a piece of paper laid on the ground hang a large piece of paper on the wall and throw sponge balls soaked in paint at the paper (can also use kooshi balls) sit in the centre of a large sheet of paper dip chains in paint twirl the chain round to make patterns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 (edited) We took poster paints and large DIY paint brushes outside and painted the paving stones experimenting in mixing colours Edited April 18, 2006 by Marion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue R Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 I am really sorry to be boring but please be aware of possible latex allergy when using 'rubber' gloves, elastic bands and 'kooshi' balls. It can be very nasty for the sufferer!! Sue PS - Oooh! and Balloons!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 At the moment we have noone with latex allergy but we do have 1 child who is allergic to ready mix paint and has to wear gloves for all art activities (just something else to consider) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marion Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Its a case of thinking of all the potential allergies and checking with parents........... and missing an obvious one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alison Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 just wondering marion - painting outside, were you painting directly onto the onto the ground? how easy was it to clean up afterwards?? as for messy play to do with hearing Jo, what about trying shakers I know its not a traditional "messy" activity but there are no limits to what children could put into containers (such as small plastic pop/milk bottles that are water tight) rather than the ordinary things such as pasta and rice try more unusual items such as ice cubes, or even odds and ends from outside such as leaves, sticks, gravel, and so on...... it can be messy if you start to get adventerous with the different things and theres all kinds of listening and comparing to talk about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Yes the children used ordinary ready mix paint directly onto the paving in our outdoor area. We actually left it until the first rainy day added wellies child size brooms and soapy water and result a nice clean new surface to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Hi here a few ideas hope they are useful. Painting with bubble wrap and crinkly celophane. Crushing rice krispies for collage Tape one end of the cardboard roll closed. Fill roll with beans to make a rattling sound. Tape up other end and decorate with felt pens Fill an empty yoghurt pot with a few beans. Join 2 pots together firmly with tape, etc. Decorate with collages and coloured pens. attach some bells onto a rolling pin for playing with dough. this site has lots of ideas http://www.theideabox.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Some great paint and dough ideas thank you marion. We have been doing minibeasts this term, we set some plastic minibeasts inside jelly moulds, the children had great fun digging them out, playing in the jelly and eating it!!!!
