Goo

Want to keep the kids occupied for a whole hour or more? It's a messy good time, but clean up is as easy as warm water.

Instructions

  1. You will need:

    Corn starch
    Water
    a big bowl

    Pour a cup of corn starch into the bowl. Mix in 1/2 cup water SLOWLY - a little at a time. You want to work up to the consistency of pancake batter. Get your hands into the goo to get the full effect of the weird texture. The cornstarch and water mixture will harden in your hands when you squeeze it, but when you open your hands, it melts like goo. Try to stir the mixture quickly and it hardens, but mix slowly and it's like water. After the kids are into it for awhile add a few drops of food coloring.

    Great science experiment and it's non toxic - my kids actually eat it (when I'm not looking) just because they can.
