Messy Fun! momstown Milton Babies Used All Five Senses Playing With Pudding Paint!

Our momstown Milton Baby Sensory Exploration program set a whole new record for messy fun this week at our Painting with Pudding events!  This was definitely a "strip down to the diaper" type of activity.  We are including photos from each of our Baby Sensory groups - Friday and Tuesday.  

This is a fun and simple sensory activity.  We added two drops of food colour to each pudding container, put a plastic tablecloth on the floor, and used flexible plastic cutting boards as canvases (though we fully expected that the "art" would not be restricted to the boards!).  

The babies LOVED getting messy with the pudding paint. At one of the events, the babies were lined up while the pudding was getting set up and it looked like they were starting a race to get to the paint.

 

 

Initially, the girls were more "dainty" and dabbed very neatly with their painting and the boys dove right in.  Before long, most were trying to swim in it!  The babies liked the texture of the pudding and squished it in their fingers and toes and a few babes enjoyed tasting it too!  

 

The babies enjoyed rubbing the paint on their legs and arms, and also enjoyed rubbing it onto their friends' backs.  They were very messy, but they had such a great time that no one seemed to mind!

After the painting, it was clean up time!  The fun continued as the babies had a blast washing up in the kitchen sink, splashing in the water and catching the stream of water flowing from the faucet.  

Today our babies used all five senses when exploring the colourful, tasty and squishy, slippery pudding paint. This is a great rainy day activity for little ones, as long as you are willing to clean up a bit of a mess!  Thanks to all the moms and babes for being very good sports and having so much fun with our Sensory activities this week!
