Good Clean Fun

"Take chances, make mistakes, and get messy!" is a quote from Miss Frizzle from the popular children's show, the Magic School Bus, but it's also one of our mottos here in Kindercare.

So in the spirit of that motto, I gave the children a challenge; to carve a ghost out of a bar of soap using nothing but popsicle sticks and warm water.
​

This proved to be a challenge, as the bars of soap weren't quite soft enough to carve. So, to add a bit of Halloween themed creepiness we colored our water with red food coloring and gave the kids liquid syringes. Our activity went from carving ghosts into gooey soap dissections.

​Besides having uninhabited "messy" play, this particular activity helped the children work their fine motor skills, sharpened their focus, and gave them the opportunity to make as big a mess as possible while still being "clean"! And that's why we called this activity "good clean fun"!
