Blue Goo

If you have kids (or even if you don’t), you HAVE to try this recipe out! It makes this “Blue Goo” concoction that’s for playing with NOT eating! I use to make it all the time when I taught Kindergarten and the boys found a little booklet w/ the recipe, so we made some the other day. The had a blast!

Blue Goo:
1 box Cornstarch (16oz)
1 1/2 c. water (approximately)
food coloring (we used 15 drops of blue)

Mix it up well in a bowl, put your kids in their PLAY clothes that you don’t care about (the food coloring could stain), put a play tablecloth on your table…and DIG IN! ;)

The goo is neat because it acts like both a liquid and solid. It looks like a liquid (kinda like pancake batter) but then if you squeeze it it turns to a solid!!!

Tip: the following day it will be all solid because the liquid evaporates, just add more water, stir and play again!

    Oh that blue goo looks like so much fun! I’m definetly filing that recipe away for when my son is older (although I’m sure he’d love making a huge mess with it right now! lol)

    Oh, I am definitely going to let my 4 year old try this - he loves anything that he can get messy doing, LOL. :)

    I love the Blue Goo! I did that with my kids last year sometime and it was soo cool. My oldest is a little adverste to putting his hands in anything messy so I had to work at getting him to play but when he did he thought it was so cool. I will say that I think Mommy loved it most of all! Hehe!
