We recently found a fun recipe for goo… cornstarch, enough water to make it “funky” and food coloring. This is generally something that we try to do outside, but the recent record heat wave convinced us to play with it inside.
The kids love the goo because it acts kind of solid when you pick it up and then oozes right through your fingers.
This makes it particularly good for making a big mess.
You’ll notice that I tried to use a sheet to keep things a bit cleaner. It didn’t work.
Luckily, this stuff dries fairly quickly and sweeps or vacuums relatively easily once it does. Cleaning up the kids requires a little more creativity… particularly trying to keep them from shedding bits of colored goo all over the house.
I’ve learned that the pink and green colors clean up more easily than the blue.
After the fun of goo time, everyone needs a break.
Though CareBear’s definition of “break” is different than LiliBee’s.
