Sensory Activity: Conrstarch and Water

Yesterday's beautiful weather provided the perfect opportunity for this fantastic (outdoor...unless you are really brave) sensory activity.

The mix is variable...I used a little bit more water than cornstarch to get that "extra gooey" feel but play with it and see what you like.

At first, Julia would only use a spoon and refused to touch it with her hand. I put my hand in, and casually dripped some of the mix on to her hand. After many times of doing this, she eventually touched it her self. At first, it was just one finger, then another and before long...

...she had her entire hand emerged. She then discovered the joy of clapping with wet, gooey stuff all over your hands!
The next two pictures demonstrate the "goo" sliding off of Julia's hand, then mine.


Finally, Julia provides a perfect picture of why this is an outdoor activity!
