(Kids) Green Gloop Messy Play – St Patrick’s Day Fun
Messy Play Alert! Sticking with our St. Patrick’s Day theme we decided to enjoy some outdoor messy play with Green Gloop today!

So, today I decided that it was a perfect afternoon for some messy play. I cleaned out the sand and water tray…

Usually I let the children make it themselves but we were a little short on time today as we had a trip to the library scheduled, so…
