Goop and other mucking about

Ever made cornflour(starch) goop?  It's the most fun stuff, a real sensory experience.  The mix can almost be picked up in semi-solid pieces, which then melt over your fingers.  There is a weird, plasticky feel to the surface of the goop.

Looks messy, but actually its so easy to clean up as it solidifies when it falls onto clothes/surfaces etc, and you can just pick it up and put it back in the tray.


This is the recipe for a larger amount than we made, but I just chucked the ingredients in together until it seemed right.


You mix together


2 cups (16 fl oz) water


food colouring


600g (1lb 3oz) corn flour/starch


Think I enjoyed playing in this almost as much as Boo!


We are generally spending much time with our hands in stuff (cooking, painting, goop) and making marks, face paints being the favoured mark-making implement right now.
