My son's new favorite thing is playing with mud! Luckily, for me, it is clean mud! It is so simple to make and great for inside contained play or outside play. All you need is a few boxes of baking soda to act as the dirt and some water! Pour the baking soda in a bowl or container and add water until your "mud" reaches a mud-like consistency. You can add in few drops of food coloring if you like too. It really feels just like mud! This brings my kids hours of enjoyment and isn't difficult to clean up. You can even wash the mud down the drain, it is completely harmless and will even clean your sink in the process-- that's my kind of clean up!
