Messy play

Deep, deep down in the darkest corners of my pantry are all sorts of surprises. I recently found some ancient bran flakes along with some wholemeal flour which had gone rancid - both were no longer edible. So, out with the bowls and onto the deck for some messy play!

Get some water, sprinkle and mix.















Add some coffee, hardened into a single lump, which was best before....














Well, best before Orla was born. (So yeah, we don't drink a lot of instant...).














Mix into a thick and interesting paste.

After this, mud was added in generous quantities. Potions were then splattered on the deck and lawn before one was added to our compost (which is where the expired food would have gone anyway), while one was hosed off our deck onto the grass and thus also returned to the soil. And our windows got washed at the same time!
