Goop

Here is the all time favorite!

  • 2 cups cornflour
  • 2 cups warm water
  • 3 cups flour
  • food colouring

Mix together the cornflour and 1 cup of water in a bowl. Stir until smooth.

Pour this mixture into a saucepan and heat on low. Slowly mix in the flour while gradually adding in the remaining water.

Once cooled, the goop is now ready to play with. If the goop sticks to your hands, lightly flour them.

Pasta Dye

A wonderful activity is to create pictures or necklaces and bracelets using coloured dry pasta.
To dye the dry pasta, mix together 1/2 cup rubbing alcohol with food colouring.

Carefully place the dry pasta into the rubbing alcohol mixture.

Once coloured, place the coloured pasta onto a sheet of waxed paper with newspaper below it to soak up any excess dye.
DO NOT eat the pasta or let kids put it into their mouths.
