You need:
- 1 cup cornstarch
- a few tablespoons of water
- food colouring (optional)
Mix the cornstarch, water and food colouring. When combined, you should be able to drip the goop from a spoon, but be careful not too make it too watery. It will appear hard to grab, but drip between your fingers as soon as you pick it up. This link will give you more detailed instructions.
~ I've made this with my daughter many times. At first she was pretty unsure about the weird texture, so I thought this time I'd "hide" a few things in the goop that would make it more interesting for her. I had some dried chickpeas that I sprinkled over the goop, and sure enough, she was captivated by the beans being "stuck" in the goop. We started counting how many chickpeas we were putting in the goop, how many we took out etc. It was a lot of fun. I also put in some pennies, since I knew they would sink and become invisible. She was so determined to grab the pennies out of the goop before they sank all the way to the bottom! It kept her busy for a good hour and a half. ~
