In Bartholomew and the Oobleck by Dr Suess. A gooey, sticky, green mess fell from the sky. Now, in the world of science we call a substance that pours like a liquid and is solid when squeezed or hit Oobleck. I just call it a lot of fun and great for an inside kind of day or even outside in a baby pool.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 parts corn starch
- 1 part water
- a few drops of food coloring if you wish
Directions:
- Pour water into a container
- Slowly add cornstarch
- Mix the ingredients together
- Carefully add additional cornstarch until you have the right consistency
- It can flow between your fingers but becomes solid when squeezed or hit
Some fun things to try:
- Slowly slide your hand into the mixture
- Try to take your hand out quickly
- Now try slowly taking your hand out
- Squeeze it in your hand
- Let it flow out between your fingers
- Push it into a container
- Try to get it out quickly and slowly
- Have a blast!
