Ooooo for Oobleck

Ooooooo for Oobleck...........just what is Oobleck, you're thinking?! Ooooo boys is it ever fun for kids of all ages! It's non-toxic, good old fashioned fun. (unless you or your child is allergic to cornstarch or water) Kept my kids busy for at least an hour. You can put it up and use it again, later on. So, it's basically two parts cornstarch and one part water. I suggest using a plastic tub that is long enough and low enough for your little ones to get their hands in and out of. We used smallish round bowls, and next time we will definitely use a long, low, tub. (Oh, and you can add a couple of drops of food grade coloring if you like)~

Alexa's school has a bin of this stuff sometimes for them to play in. It is so cool how it feels solid sometimes and gooey other times!
