Goop!

This was a such a successful sensory- fun filled activity I did with the boys today that i'm going to definitely recreate it again sometime.

What is it?

Cornflour and water. That's it.

To make;

Get a bag of cornflour - I used two because I had this large tub to do it in but you could use a bowl. 

Add water and mix it around, it pays to use your hands and a little warm water until you get this goopy consistency.

If you want you could add some colouring to it. I left mine plain as we have done a lot of activities of late with colours.

Its a super messy activity as you can see but the boys spent so long playing with it. They had such a great time and they were really engrossed in putting their hands and feet in it! 

Lots of laughter- lots of picking it up and watching it fall from their hands.

Great visual and tactile stimulation.

The great thing- actually few things is that :

1. Because its cornflour, its baby friendly if they put it in their mouth.

2. Because of the way it hardens and dries; it becomes like powder, you can sweep it away off the concrete (or carpet if they walk it through on the way to the shower- use a damp cloth and give any drops a wipe then vacuum). And also because of its consistency you could hose it off the concrete.

3. It washes out of clothes no problem.

What makes this even better?

You can turn into a science lesson because it can be a solid or a liquid.

Here is some more info on it for you!
