What is Gelli/Squishy Baff?

It is a totally unique, completely safe, UK manufactured powder that turns ordinary water into glorious, colourful goo! Gelli Baff has passed all toy safety testing in the UK, in Australia & has recently passed a very stringent USA testing (FDA). A second stage powder then simply turns the goo back to water again so as it can be easily drained.

Firstly sprinkle the "goo former" (Stage 1) evenly over the surface area of the water (try to avoid adding large clumps of powder as this will take longer to form the goo) and watch as it magically turns the water into a fun, thick goo. Once the kids are finished playing, evenly sprinkle the "goo dissolver" (Stage 2) into the water, leave it for 5 minutes and watch the goo turn back into water.

Kids love it in the bath, in outdoor kiddie's pools, or even in a small bowl or sink.

Gelli Baff initially started life as a ‘Foot Spa’ product - it was used to ‘soften’ feet in foot spas for many years! As such, Gelli Baff is actually very good for the skin for the vast majority of users & leaves the skin feeling soft & refreshed!

Gelli Baff in the bath

Fill the bath with 40 litres of warm water (ensure water is at the desired temperature before adding the Stage 1 Powder). Measure the amount of water accurately as bath sizes can vary. For best results sprinkle the "goo former" (Stage 1) evenly over the surface of the bath using all of the Step 1 pack. Try to avoid adding large clumps of powder as this will take longer to form the goo. Let the goo magically form for 5 minutes, stir the goo well then let the kids get in for some amazing bath time fun. On average, each box will create you between 40 & 50 litres of Goo.

One box of standard Gelli Baff contains 150g of stage 1 (Goo maker) & 150g of the stage 2 (Goo dissolver)

Gelli Baff in the garden

Gelli Baff was originally designed to stimulate kid’s imagination and turn "boring bath time into fun time". Since Gelli Baff hit stores the demand for the use of Gelli Baff outdoors has rocketed.

Having Gelli Baff in the outdoor kiddies pool is fantastic fun on a hot summer’s day, far more fun than just plain, boring water.

We sell ‘Pool & Goo sets’ and pool refill tubs (which contain the equivalent of 5 boxes of Gelli Baff) or of course the normal Gelli Baff can just be added to the kiddies pool as required.

The 'Pool & Goo' sets contain 2 x 150g packs of stage 1 (goo maker) & 2 x 150g of the stage 2 (goo dissolver) plus a 4' two ring kiddies pool

Gelli Baff in the classroom – Messy Play

Specifically for the educational industry, i.e. nurseries, schools & play groups, Gelli Baff has been re-branded as Messy Play. Messy Play is seen by teachers and other professionals within the industry to be ideal for "messy time" in the classroom. As Messy Play is completely safe, biodegradable and doesn’t stain, teachers love using it on a regular basis to keep the kids entertained.

Messy Play is exactly the same product as Gelli Baff, the only difference being that it is supplied in larger quantities for the education industry.

Each Messy Play tub contains 5 x 150g of stage 1 (goo maker) & 5 x 150g of stage 2 (goo dissolver)

No Mess!

Once the kids have finished having fun, add the stage 2 (goo dissolver) to the Gelli Baff to turn the thick goo back into water (coloured). Once the dissolving powder has been added, Gelli Baff won't turn back into goo again, so there’s no need to worry about pipes getting blocked.

Gelli Baff is free from harmful chemicals or preservatives, its biodegradable, completely harmless to septic tanks; it won't stain the bath, towels, floors, furniture or kids & is actually good for the skin!
