Flour play

This is a simple activity if you are looking to introduce messy play activities into your home. In this picture we used a fruit bowl but a good piece of equipment which every home with young children could do with is a cat litter tray. The size is ideal for  little children to be able to reach into the tray and also can fit nicely on a high chair.

What you will need:
flour
water
food colouring
decorative sprinkles or glitter (optional)

Directions:
Mix the ingredients together to your chosen consistency.

You can use this activity as an opportunity to discuss texture, colour and sounds.
