gelli bath review

So finally the temperature dropped and we decided to celebrate with a bath...after months of showers. But not just any bath, a gelli baff bath! Stuff that turns the bathwater to green goo sounded like fun so I took advantage when a friend made an order from Hawkins and we got ourselves a gelli baff.

Inside the box are 2 sachets. One to make the goo and one to dissolve it afterwards. Following the instructions I ran 6 centimetres of warm water into the tub and evenly sprinkled the powder onto the surface. Then you leave it to work its magic for 5 minutes and when you come back you have a tub full of surprisingly thick green goo.

The best way to describe it is like a tub full of warm semolina or polenta. It was fun. Yes, I paddled for a bit too. Skye fully immersed herself and played happily for about 20 minutes.

Then the kids from upstairs came to see what the shrieks were all about, and of course promptly stripped off and got into the tub too. As you do.

Finally we made the kids stand up, sprinkled in the dissolving powder and they all melted into a puddle of water...

OK, the kids didn't melt but the goo just slowly got runnier and runnier, eventually turning into green water that washed down the drain. Good clean fun for eveyone, highly recommended, unless you're the person that has to hose down the bathroom afterwards....you really thought that all the goo remained INSIDE the tub?

That sounds like so much fun! I want to bathe in green gelli baff too! :D Did you really order it from a law firm, though?

Sounds like fun. My son would have loved something like that when he was young. In fact, I bet he'd go even go for it now!!!

that would be fun to do in an outside kiddie pool and have a gelli pool party!
