My kids love to make a mess! Is that abnormal? I’m thinking not. They love to squish their hands in gross things too. Wait, that doesn’t sound right. You know what I mean! This was the perfect craft/activity. I found this great idea over on this blog. She has a short video on her site that might explain it a little better too.
I don’t think my pictures can do this “gloop” justice. They just can’t give you the full affect on how cool it really is.
It’s a liquid…
But it’s also a solid. Does that make sense?
When you squish your hands into this mixture it’s pliable and feels like a thick paste. But then you hold it for a second and it melts away. It’s so cool!
Even though I can’t even begin to describe how cool it is, my kids LOVE playing with this and ask to make Gloop all the time! And it’s so easy!
Ingredients:
* 1 cup Cornstarch
* 1/2 cold water
* a few drops of food coloringThat’s it!
In a measuring cup mix the water and food coloring.
Add it to the cornstarch Now mix and play!
I have played with this before. It is so cool! I didn’t know it was so easy to make though. Thanks!
i don’t use the coloring… very easy to wash, dust off of clothes that way
Hurrah for cheap & fun! Cool gooo!!!! Thanks –
My boys also love this stuff! Our science teacher friend that showed it to us originally calls it “sliquid”- so true! your kids look like they are having fun! 🙂
