Aquafaba

 💙💙 Little Boy Blue! 💙💙

Today I made something I’ve never used before - aquafaba! 

If you haven’t heard of it before, it’s a fluffy mixture which vegans use to make cakes and other recipes. All you need is: chickpeas, a splash of lemon juice and food colouring of your choice. 

1. Drain 2 tins of chickpeas into a bowl. You aren’t using the chickpeas themselves, so put aside for use in your cooking. 
2. Add 1/2 a tsp of lemon juice. 
3. Mix with an electric whisk until fluffy. 
4. Add food colouring. 
5. Whisk again to combine. 

That’s it! Now you have a great fluffy, sensory resource! 

For this activity, I went for ‘all things blue’ to line with our little boy blue rhyme (plus, of course, the little boys sheep and cow!) I made the aquafaba and put it into one half of my Ikea flisat table. 

It was great fun and Arlo really enjoyed the feeling of he fluffy foam.
