Peyton asked if we could make oobleck and while I wanted to say no, how can I deny him a little messy fun?!
Plus, it’s so easy and the perfect activity for a rainy day… or so I thought. The joke was on me. IT IS SO MESSY. But, so much fun. The next time we make it will be when the weather is nice and we can play with it outside and then hose off afterward.
Oobleck is solid when it’s pushed on, but liquid when you try to pick it up. How cool is that?
It’s so easy and you probably have the ingredients on hand right now.
- Pour 1 cup of water into a bowl. A small one will be fine but if you are letting kids help stir, you may want a slightly bigger one.
- Start adding cornstarch to the water. Start with 1 and a half cups and go up from there if it’s too liquidy. It’s easiest to use your hands to stir it but we always start with a spoon.
- This is where you can add food coloring if you want. We didn’t.
- Get messy and have fun!
