my daughter is 4 and she spits on my legs and trys to rub it in. yuk! she also

rubs it on the TV and windows. I give her a rag and clean it. now she knows she

will clean the mess she makes. the thing i like to most is blowing her nose and

thinking i'm the rag.

Have you tried looking for a textural substitute? Like that slime stuff

they sell (I don't know if it's age appropriate) or a cornstarch

solution (boil water, add cornstarch to thicken -- I don't know if it

would work -- it does with gravy) or thinned jellow or bubble soap. If

she puts stuff in her mouth you'd have to find something non-toxic.

Some of my suggestions stain so you'd have to have a special place to

use them -- like outside or the bathtub. Or she might like the putting

liquid on other things part so maybe a spray bottle (or bicycle bottle

that squirts) of water (used outside) would work. Or maybe a water & a

sponge? I remember the snot years -- yuk. My kids still think it's

funny but they don't rub it on people anymore.
