White mud is a rainy day kind of activity. Kids love to unroll the toilet paper. The mud is fun to make and also to play in. We put it in our blow up baby tub for the girls to play with. A shallow rubbermade type storage container would work as well. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of it.WHITE MUD
Step 1. Unravel about 1 1/2 rolls of two-ply toilet paper, then tear it into 2- to 3-square pieces. Put all of the pieces in a plastic tub.

Step 2: While the kids are doing step one grate half of a 3.1-ounce bar of Ivory soap into the tub. I used a knife to shave it instead of grating it.
Step 3: Slowly add about 6 cups of warm water, 1 cup at a time, while you and your child blend the mixture together by hand. It'll take about 15 minutes to mix it all up -- hang in there, it's worth the wait! Stop adding water when your mixture feels creamy and saturated. (You can always add more TP if yours gets too runny.)
Step 4: Help your child mold the mud into mountains, towers, and other shapes.
Step 5: Store the mud at room temperature in a covered container; it'll last for several weeks. (Dispose of it in the trash.)

Such ingenuity! I think my little man would eat it. My girls would think it was a blast, though!
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea ! When my three stop getting the urge to put everything in their mouths I will definitely try this!
ReplyDeleteWow...that's a great idea. The kids must have a lot of fun in your house! ;)
ReplyDeleteWhite mud sounds so much fun! Sunnboy loves unrolling toilet rolls anyway so this is something we will definitely try!! Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteI bet my kids would get a kick out of this!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great project for kids! Mine of course are a little big. But in 15 years I hope to have grandchildren old enough to do this with!!!
ReplyDeleteFunny thing is I am 49! I am old enough to have grandchildren. But my kids are 13 and 11, not anywhere near old enough to have children. LOL~!!
Drop in an see me this week, I have a jumbled post about gardening and maybe even little guys would be interested in winter gardening.
How fun, I never would have thought of this! I'm finally participating in KFF this week, though I'm a little late getting my post up.
ReplyDeleteFun! I added my link about yo-yo painting. Super quick, easy, and fun!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like so much fun! I'll have to participate soon if I can think of anything particularly useful. :)
ReplyDeleteWow. You make cool stuff like this AND the headbands? Those are so gorgeous, I can't quite get over it. I'm not sure I can quite get over the mess of the white mud though ;) Some things are just OUTside toys. Someday it will warm up again though, right?
ReplyDeleteNow that is pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteSarah, Come on by and snag an award I gave you on my blog!

Now that sounds like fun! I have never heard of white mud! We will have to try it!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of white mud... seems kind of cool though!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a kid I would go with my parents to the bowling alley on Friday nights, they were on a league. I would get bored, so my friend and I would go into the bathroom and wet tp and throw it up to the ceiling and it would stick and dry up there. (I was about 5 years old) shhh don't tell anyone.
ReplyDeleteIf my kids ever did that, they would be in some big trouble.
Your idea sounds much better.:)
This sounds like so much fun! I'm afraid the boys may have it on the walls and everywhere else but still something fun to do.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the idea :)
