This was just too cool not to share it!
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
ziploc bag
measuring cup
plastic spoon
Pour the cornstarch into the bag and add the water. Have your kid mush it around in the bag. Then pour it into the measuring cup and play! This is really neat - it pours like a thick liquid but then solidifies in the cup or on your hands. We had a lot of fun being gross with it. It's messy, but if you homeschool your kids, you're probably expecting a mess! Very easy to clean up.
We just made it for fun, but it can also be valuable when teaching about matter. We're not quite there yet. Example:
Me: "Water is an example of a liquid. It runs, like this goop runs off my fingers."
Becca: "Like I run! I'm a liquid!"
Er, not quite... we'll get there soon enough! LOL
(Becca is reading over my shoulder right now!)
