Messy Play - Jelly Smash!

It looks like summer has finally arrived! Today has been gloriously sunny so we took the opportunity to  engage in some messy play outside, introducing Poppet and Little to the sensation and texture of jelly!


I had a few farmyard animals and a shell suspended within the jelly, and I also gave them various tools that they could use to explore it. It looked very jelly-fish like sitting there and Poppet spent quite a while just poking at it to see it wobble!


She liked nudging the jelly with the wooden spoon in order to free some of the animals. Little got stuck in with her hands as usual. 



Poppet's weapon of choice was the toy mallet and she spent the rest of the time bashing the jelly up into pieces. Little by this point had figured out that it tasted good.




Poppet also liked eating it. I even gave it a taste.


  Little preferred to use her feet and legs to mash up the jelly. While eating it. She is multi-talented.


Two sticky, happy babies then had a paddling pool bath (£1 from Poundland!) to clean off. I think this was Little's favourite part.


Poppet: 2yrs 4 mos
Little: 8 mos
