Oobleck...*blechk*

Just for fun we made some oobleck... a version of it anyway. I'd seen a recipe for cornstarch clay...and tried to duplicate it...but it ended up like slightly stiffer oobleck. You know, it's all BLECHK and gross...solid and liquid.
Usually, it's a balance of water and cornstarch. This also had baking soda, salt and flour.
In my opinion...it should always be green! HA!
This was the Sweet Girl's oozing trick. She was thrilled that she could pick it up as a ball and then just hold it and have it ooze down to the plate.
Little Man...wasn't so sure about this stuff. He is barely okay with playdoh on his hands...so this stuff was on the icky edge for him. He jabbed it with his fingers but was NOT going to pick it up.
