Jelly Play

I decided to introduce Wugs to the texture of jelly and popped in a few slimy toys for fun.  I have to admit he was pretty disgusted with it and wasn't putting any of that green stuff in his mouth!  It also confirmed my fear that Wugs is unlikely to chase off the geckos (small house lizards) that seem to come out in the evening over here and which I'm terrified of!

What we used:
Green jelly mix
Toy lizards

Painting With Edible Paints

This activity marks the beginning of my interest in children's activities.  It was during a search for edible paints that I discovered an inspirational crafting site called the Imagination Tree.  Wugs created his first painting using this recipe from that site.  We found the ingredients blended together better if we put them in a saucepan on a low heat.
