Handwriting Mediums

[Guest]

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

And good old salt, sand and sugar?

cous cous use like flour or salt

jelly pour onto the table and spread

chocolate pudding mix was suggested by someone and it's great fun

ordinary ready mix paint

coloured sand

Much to my job partners disgust, we used mud and had great fun!!

Try dry porridge oats and then use them again cooked.

How about good old paint/finger paint. Then you can take prints of the marks made.

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!

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?"

We once had a parent complain that we had "sick" in the water tray it was soapflake slime

I'm always a sucker for a bit of sparkle - sequins or glitter!
