White Mud

1 1/2 rolls toilet paper, torn into 2-3 square pieces
1/3 bar grated Ivory soap
4-6 cups of warm water (I used about 4 cups because I had cheep Sam's club toilet paper.)

Then you just mix it together with your hands. It looks horrible at first but then it just turns in to white globs that hold shape really well.


We put this White Mud in a baby pool with cups and shovels. (Of course, we put plastic drop cloth taped to the floor under the baby pool!) This activity is simple and inexpensive but keeps small children entertained for a long time.

To fill the baby pool with the mixture you need 6 to 9 times this recipe. It was made about two days before the outreach so it didn't smell bad. It does store well in an air-tight container.
