Directions:
Talk with your child about the big mess that the Dragon Tales friends made with their fingerpaints. Then invite your child to help you make a clean mess together. Let him know that he just has to follow the directions, and you can make some "Clean Mud" together.
Write the following directions on a sheet of paper.
Put soap scraps into a container.
Add a pitcher of water.
Tear up pieces of toilet paper.
Add the pieces of toilet paper to the water.
Mix everything together with your hands.
Read each step aloud to your child, so that he can follow the steps to make clean mud.
When the mud is complete, let him have fun playing with it. You might want to take the container outside, or put some newspapers down on a table in case there are spills.
