Preschool Texture Activity - Squishy Baff



Squishy Baff is a bath additive that turns bathwater into a slushy goo. And it does. Trouble is, it makes a huge mess and doesn't dissolve very well.

We had one packet left from a 2-pack that my mom brought when she visited last weekend. Honestly, I would have been fine throwing it away. But it was a gift from Nana and my daughter loved it.

So I decided to move the Squishy Baff party to the deck where clean-up would be much easier. What a fun texture activity that turned out to be!

Here's what you need:

Squishy Baff
Bucket
Scooping tools
Water hose
Apron





Fill your buckets with water. Pour Squishy Baff into one of the buckets.




Stir with a spoon. It will start to thicken right away.




Play! If it feels too thick, just add water or transfer to other buckets until you get the texture you want.






Squishy Baff includes a packet of sodium chloride (table salt) that will dissolve the mush. If it's not dissolving well enough, just add more salt.

    1. LOL It makes a big mess, not gonna lie. But hosing it off of the deck was way easier than cleaning it out of the bathtub. Gotta love gifts from grandparents!

  2. We did it with diapers (I didn't want to pay for the stuff if I could do it myself)! http://lifewithmoorebabies.blogspot.com/2012/08/squishy-fun-turning-water-to-gel-and.html My kids loved it!
