Louise, from Leicester, offers up her Petal Soup…

What did you do?

We used petals, flowers and other plants foraged from our garden. They mixed in stones and mud and very much led the play throughout. It’s great to show that messy play and mud kitchens have lots of uses! This is a great water play activity too.

Works best when you let the kids take the direction they want on the day.

Do you have any other projects planned?

Water beads for messy play.
