One thing you can count on with almost any baby is the fact that they put everything in their mouth.  Due to this fact, I was on the hunt for fun slimes and paints that would be safe if entering the mouth!

Slime

After looking at several slime recipes I found one that worked perfect for having a baby that puts everything in his mouth.  Technically it is edible, however I wouldn’t eat it. It gives me a piece of mind for the bits that may get in his mouth.  On top of that, the ingredients were easy to find and it was easy to make.

We played with the slime outdoors.  C had so much fun. It was interesting to see how C reacted to it.  He started with his hands.

Then his foot.

 Next thing I knew, his whole body was in the slime.

Paint

This recipe was just so simple!  It can be found at I Heart Arts & Crafts!  We made several different colors to play with.

 

I laid down a long piece of white paper out in the grass and let C make his masterpiece.

 

Here was the result!
