Spring Break ...Day 2

This Spring Break I told myself...."We are going to do at least 1 activity a day from the norm" So excluding yesterday, because I had to work, we started today.

Day 2....Make Oobleck

In the book "Bartholomew and the Oobleck" by Dr. Seuss; there is a spell cast to create an extremely sticky green substance also known as "goop" coming from the sky. This "goop" known as oobleck, is cheap and easy to make and easy to clean up. Do not put the oobleck down the sink it will clog your pipes, throw it in the trash when you are finished with it. Also you can store it in a plastic baggy in the refrigerator to use another time!!

Things You'll Need:
1/4 cup of white glue
1/4 cup of water
1/4 cup of liquid starch

1. mix the water and glue first
2. add 2 drops of food coloring (goop is green, but we used other colors)
3. add the liquid starch
My kids used their hands to mix the starch and you can feel it start to form.

Lots of easy entertainment!!!
