What about the packing peanuts? They kind of crinkle when you squeeze them?

Perhaps Plaster of Paris (from hardware or craft supply places) that is made in

thin sheets. . . once dry it will crack when you push on it.

Great idea, Donnell! I never knew Plaster of Paris was made in thing

sheets---or do I buy the regular plaster or paris and make it into

sheets myself? Either way--I think it might work! Thank you so much!

Hmmmmm.....I can certainly try this, and know we have packing peanuts

somewhere in the basement. I don't know if " crinkling " will be a good

as " cracking " though!! Why are our kids so picky with their stimming??

Ha ha! Thanks, Bev

That's ok.....just keep thinking!! Ha ha! As if you don't have enough

on your mind, you certainly don't need to add " what cracks like an

eggshell but won't cause samonella? " to your list!! Bev

Have you tried cellophane wrap? It isn't hard like an egg shell, but

makes the crackly sound. It lasts a long time too. Janie loved to play

with it when she was littler. She also likes cracking eggs, with help,

but tosses the shells. Or if she gets the egg by herself she tosses

that. It is so cool to see it splatt on the floor! She doesn't much

like cleaning it up though. She is really interested in cooking right

now and finally gets that a hot pan is really hot!
