I got this idea from Lisa Murphy. You should check her out at Ooeygooey.com.
We combined a cup of baby oil and 2 cups of flour in a pan. The kids stirred it up and then we added some color. It looks a lot like cookie dough. It has a super cool consistency and made our hands nice and soft. When R began getting her hands into it, my son made himself scarce. He isn't big on getting his hands dirty, so I put some in a Zip lock baggie so he could have a sensory experience too. He was much happier with it this way and my daughter had so much fun mixing and slathering. This is super messy. We put a towel down and that didn't help much. We will do this outside next time. It does clean up really easy.
