I hosted a messy party last summer. Since I didn't have a blog then, I never posted pictures from it. All the kids AND adults had a blast! Enjoy!
We invited kids from the neighborhood. The ages of kids ranged from 1 to 6. It was nice to have a variety because the younger ones were afraid to get messy until they saw the older kids doing it.
I am a very simple person and I keep everything as easy as possible. Simple invitations and no decorations (kids don't notice anyways).

Shaving Cream Table
Sand Table
Painting with Pudding
 |
| I prepared small Dixie cups of chocolate pudding for each child. |
 |
| String with clothespins to dry. |
Mini Pools
 |
| The pool water got messy fast! |
Goo Table
Strawberries with Chocolate Syrup
 |
| I also served popsicles! |
By the end of the evening, the kids got created and mixed the sand, goo, and shaving cream all together. It was so fun to see their imagination at work!
For a party favor, you can give each child a bar of soap before they leave.
Happy Summer!
