What you'll need for your foam dough recipe
Shaving foam
Cornflour
Food colouring in various colours
Small pots (old small yoghurt pots are ideal)
How to make foam dough
1. Measure out approx 5 tablespoons of shaving foam into a small pot.
2. Add a few drops of food colouring to the shaving foam and mix well until you get the colour you want.
3. Slowly add the cornflour a teaspoon at a time, stirring thoroughly until the mixture starts to look slightly doughy.
Be careful not to add too much cornflour as the more cornflour you add, the drier the dough. If the dough becomes too dry it will also lose some of its foamy, puffy texture.
4. Repeat the process using another food colouring colour.
5. Have fun bending and massaging the foam dough into all sorts of shapes!
What constitutes disruptive behaviour in young kids is very subjective. However, by looking deeper at your childs behaviour it will help you understand more about why they act in a certain way. Behaviour that can appear naughty or disruptive to you, is often just your childs way of communicating an unmet need as they try to figure out their way in the world.
Teaching babies the difference between day and night can be a bit of a challenge until their body clock kicks in. However it's something you can easily help them learn from just a few weeks old. Whilst its not possible to establish a routine when your baby is very young, there are things you can do to separate day and night activities. In the long run it will also mean you will both start to get more sleep.
