How to Make Oobleck:
Ingredients:
4 cups cornstarch
2 cups water
food coloring (optional)
If using food coloring, add it to the water first. Then, add the water to the cornstarch. Mix well.
Pour onto a shallow pan or similar and let your child explore this mysterious substance.
Oobleck isn't a liquid or a solid...but it behaves like both at times.
This simple, amazing sensory activity can keep kids entertained for a super long time. And when your child is done...you can even cover it up and then use it again another day!
