We had so much fun with this play recipe, and you only need two ingredients to make it! Read on for the easy tutorial.
Ghost Foam is amazingly FUN! It is squishy, it fizzes, and it's mold-able. It is also naturally cold, which adds a really fun element to play. Are you ready to "get your ghost on"?
Ghost Foam Recipe
- One large box of baking soda
- One can of shaving cream
You will also need:
- Vinegar
- A squeeze bottle
- Black craft foam
- A sensory bin or container.
Method
- To make ghost foam simply mix one large box of baking soda with one can of shaving foam in a large sensory bin or container.
- We slowly mixed our ingredients so that we could explore a variety of textures along the way.
Making Ghosts
- Once we had a mixture we liked I gave Rosie black craft foam so that she could make ghosts.
- She had lots of fun playing in the squishy foam. It was SO soft, yet mold-able.
Then, things got really fun!
- I gave Rosie a squirt bottle of vinegar, and she was suddenly transformed into "a ghost buster"!
This was her favorite part! She had so much fun blasting the ghosts to make them disappear!
After Rosie had used all of the vinegar we were left with another amazingly fun material to muck around in.
GHOST MUD!
Add vinegar as you play to make the ghosts in the mud FIZZLE again & again!
