What could be more fun at a playgroup or on a rainy day at home, than to make a construction site in your kitchen - using oatmeal! momstown has some great ways to use oatmeal to inspire your kids' creativity and exploration.
What you need:
- Oatmeal (whatever your favourite dry oats is!)
- Water
- Cookie sheet (s)
- Construction toys
- Cups
- Blocks
Experiment with the amount of water you add - for different textures and sensory experiences.
Babies can use little cars, plastic spoons and their hands to explore oatmeal - let kids try it out dry, with a bit of water (gets sticky and makes a kind of glue), and then with more and more water... just like a real construction site!
The perfect texture to mimic loads of concrete and a dump truck!
And here's what happens when it rains on the construction site!
momstown has lots of sensory crafts to try with kids of all ages. You can use oatmeal for a great baby's first painting material, try making magic happen with milk, or make edible fingerpaints!
