Play therapy....

I took a page from Dr. Boucher's suggestion on her blog titled...
Messy Therapy

So we got a container of Chocolate Cool Whip and let Faith have at it! I chose the chocolate because she responds well to stronger flavors. Needless to say, it was a MESS! But she had a blast!

We got out spoons and NUK brushes and bowls....
I loved seeing her put the spoons and cool whip in her mouth...

She thought it was the funniest thing ever, making a BIG mess all over the table and floor and chair and herself....

She pretended to color with her hands and with her utensils....

Then she got the NUK brush stuck in her mouth and couldn't figure out where it went...

She also did some throwing (not my favorite part!) leaving me a bigger mess on the floor to clean up....She seemed to like the feeling of the cool whip because when she had obliterated a pile of it she would sign "more" for another pile....

Then she decided to make it a full body mess and lie down in it....see arms, hair, face, clothes....

All in all totally worth the $.50 for the cool whip....but I sure wish I could find someone willing to clean up the mess!
