Another fun kitchen-table project: cornstarch goop! It's just half a box of cornstach, mixed with enough water to make it fun.
Ernie liked to take up gobs of it, then carefully peel everything into our cup of water.

I can't really describe how weird this stuff is. There's very little mess, since whatever is on your hands quickly dries to powder. You can easily grab a handful and make a firm ball in your hand, and it snaps apart when you bend it...then starts oozing. Just cool!

Nothing like goop to keep kids happy, lol :)
We've done that one too and it was a big hit. We added food coloring to change the color. :0)
ohhhh this looks like a good idea and not too messy! I'm going to have to try this with my students. Thanks!
I learned that as Oobleck. It's a fun project.
fun- I made some of this for girls camp last year- for an object lesson about Testimonies.
You do the funniest stuff with your children- =)
Where WERE you when I had a 2-year-old? You mean I didn't have to spend the afternoon curled in a fetal position waiting for my husband to come home? :)
