toddler science

Pour the water in.
Add some food colouring.
Mix up the goop.

Enjoy the mess!

How cool is cornflour when it is wet! If you've never played with cornflour and water you should go make a mess right now. Artie loved this activity. I had it all set up so after he woke up from his nap and had a snack, we were straight into it. We spent well over an hour playing with our goop. The only reason we stopped is because he accidentally slipped and bumped his chin.

We mixed, poured, squeezed and made mess. We also cooked, made car tracks in the coloured water, played find the farm animal/spoon/key in the goop. The possibilities go on and on. We will definitely make this goop again. 


I also put a bowl of soapy water and some towels out. This proved just as much fun. Not only washing and drying our own hands but also washing naughty toys who got so very dirty in the goop.

I love this activity and so does Artie by the look of it. Denise, you are doing such a good job with all these great activities for Artie. You should try for a job in a Montessori school or Kindy - sometime in the future I mean.
