    Haha, good question! One Halowe'en I cooked fettucine noodles in green coloured water then cooled and oiled the noodles and put them in a big bin with witches fingers. eyeballs, etc. what a mess! Then when we did the letter M and I made Monster slime with cornstarch and water it was a big mistake because everything they touched after playing in the slime had a cornstarch residue.

    Oh - no one's ever asked that question of me before - good one!

    Two words come immediately to mind: Moon Sand. Never again. Such a huge mess everywhere and I paid good money for that stuff, too. I ended up donating it to my kid's preschool. I also remember the bingo dabbers that seemed like such a good idea untill I realized too late that they were indelible.

    I also am done with glitter - I think it is even potentially dangerous if children have glitter on their hands and get it in their eyes and mouths.

    I usually do enjoy doing art with even very young children, though.

    We did homemade moon dough once..It calls for baby oil in the recipe. I thought I would be smart and let them play with it on the deck. Didn't matter. The floor was a oil slick anytime they walked across it LOL!! I was forever getting that residue off my floors! On the plus side, the kids went home smelling new baby fresh with soft skin ha ha!

    I do admit, I dont like playdough. i take it out about twice ayear. the kids really enjoy it and when it comes out they jump up and down for joy. (probly bcause they NEVER get it at my house) there is just something about trying to separate all the colors back to the containers and getting on my hands and knees under the table to pick up all the random tiny color speck of dough off the floor before it gets tracked to the living room carpet. Not to mention then having to check their clothes because you know at least 3 out of the six sat on a wadd and have it stuck to the a$% of their pants, which will be on my couch next. and also cleaning under their fingernails for the many colors. oooh dont forget watching for them to take a taste!!! you always seem to have at least one in the crowd who wants to see what it tastes like! "it's smells so good, must taste good too!" yah, my nemesis is definately PLAYDOUGH!!!!
