Optional extras:

Light box (DIY with a plastic box and LED lights)
Bath! Crazy Soap is excellent for bath time.
Spoons, paint brushes, bowls and trays

How to:

In the bath: Perfect for bath time, Crazy Soap adds an interactive element to washing. The foam floats – so try making shapes or animals in the water. It can even be used to learn the letters of the alphabet! In the summer months, try using a paddling pool and enjoy the foam in the sun.

Messy Play: Mix and mould this foam with spoons or paint brushes over different surfaces. Try adding extra elements such as biodegradable glitter or dried pasta shapes.

Add an extra sensory element by using a light box as a base for the Crazy Soap. To make your own, simply use a see-through plastic box, turned upside down over coloured LED lights.

Have fun playing! For more creative activities to do with your child, book onto one of our Make Play Summer sessions. They are running every Thursday in August and offer sensory playtime for you and your child. Book your ticket here.
