Ghost Mud Recipe
- 3 bars of white soap (frozen)
- 1 roll of toilet paper
- Cold water
- A sensory bin or container
- A grater
- Black craft foam
Method
- Begin by having kids grate the bars of soap into a sensory bin or container.
We placed our soap bars in the freezer overnight so that they would be icy-cold.
You can grate the soap while they rip the paper if you are concerned about your children using a grater. We had a quick talk about safety before they began grating.
We used a grater with four sides so that all of us could grate at the same time. I also had a hand-held grater available. Each side had a different size grate, giving us a neat mixture of soap shavings.
Playing in these by themselves was FUN!
Once the soap is grated have kids tear the roll of toilet paper into shreds and add it to the bin.
My girls loved this part! We ripped up most of the roll but not all of it. Every roll is a different size, and ours was a big roll.
Now, slowly add cold water and mix.
The texture of this stuff is seriously so FUN! All three of us had a blast mucking around in the icy-cold mud.
The girls played and played and played. Then, Rosie asked if we could add more water.
Sure, why not?
A ghostly muck- so FUN!
This was such a simple activity, and it kept my girls happily playing for a long time! Grab a bar of soap and whip up a batch of GHOST MUD for your kids today! I can almost guarantee they will have a blast.
