Weird Fun with Corn Starch
We call it Gloop and we used to make it all the time at the Nursery as the children loved to experiment with it. Just 2 cups of corn flour to one cup water, add 1 or 2 drops of food colouring for extra fun. You can mix this up just on top of table too, you dont need containers.
One fun activity is to make loads of goo and then pour it into a large flat tray and add items. The children can close their eyes and then search for things in the goo! Blocks of Lego or other plastic toys like insects and farmyard animals are favourites, so you can incorporate other types of play, for example singing songs such as 'Old Macdonald' or 'There Was An Old Woman Who Swallowed a Fly' and having the children find the animals in the goo. Green goo is also a great addition to any Halloween party, as it is just as much fun for adults as it is for younger people.
